• Collaborate with Engineering and Science teams to implement features and metrics;
• Ensure platform security and performance standards;
• Write high-quality, well-tested code following best practices;
• Contribute to technical roadmap and strategic planning.

You should be a self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, creative, detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree (graduating autumn 2025 or already obtained) in Computer Science, AI, or equivalent;
• Strong knowledge of professional software engineering practices and full software development lifecycle;
• Very strong proficiency in Python.

Desirable Qualifications

• Knowledge of machine learning frameworks (e.g., Torch, Hugging Face) or data analysis platforms (e.g., Pandas);
• Experience with open source projects;
• Experience in community engagement projects;
• Familiarity with Scrum/Agile methodologies.

Our Offer

• Competitive salary, bonus, and share options;
• Company-issued laptop;
