Job Description/ Responsibilities Clean-room / Chinese Wall discipline
- Demonstrated experience authoring **specifications consumed by an isolated implementation team** — clean-room reverse engineering, regulated/defense work, or formal spec-to-vendor handoffs.
- Understands that **the spec is the only communication channel.** Writes requirements that are *complete on first contact* — every file path, import, config value, error string, and acceptance criterion present, because "single turn, no follow-up questions" standard is the acceptance bar for their own output.
- Comfortable with the wall cutting **both ways**: they cannot see clean-room code and they cannot talk to the developers. They validate through **observable test outcomes only**, never by reading implementation.

Experience & Background
- Technical product / technical program management on platform or data-infrastructure products (not consumer apps).
- Track record writing **acceptance-criteria-driven specs validated by automated test suites**, not demos.
Soft Skills (which here are actually hard requirements)
- **Pathological precision and completeness** — "good enough, we'll clarify later" is not the right approach. Ambiguity is a defect.
- **Empathy for an audience they will never speak to** — must anticipate every clean-room question and pre-answer it in the spec.
