Google Cloud Platform is described as 'valuable' (preferred), not required.
LLM integration patterns (tool use, function calling, agentic workflows, systems-level prompt engineering) and enterprise SaaS/platform engineering experience are framed as 'will help you make an impact' — clearly preferred, not gated.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is named as a specific technology the team owns and operates; included as preferred since no firm gating language is used.
No minimum years of overall experience are stated in the posting.
