• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and agile development practices.
• Ask questions, contribute ideas, and grow into a developer who can ship production-grade AI features.

What You Bring

• A recent graduate in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or a related field—or equivalent self-driven experience.
• A strong curiosity about AI and a track record of exploring it independently (e.g., side projects, hackathons, open source, coursework).Hands-on experience using LLMs or AI tools via APIs like OpenAI or HuggingFace.
• Comfort with at least one modern programming language—Javascript and Python are ideal.
• A collaborative, humble, and growth-oriented mindset.
