• Strong understanding of ownership/borrowing, lifetimes, and type safety.
• Experience working with Cargo, debugging compile-time and runtime issues.
• Ability to analyze unsafe blocks, memory safety, and system-level logic.
• Ability to interpret borrowing rules, assess unsafe blocks, reason about type safety, and understand compile-time vs runtime behavior.

Why Join Us?

• Work on high-impact projects that contribute to building AI for Good.
• Collaborate with top-tier engineers and domain experts from IITs, NITs, and BITS.
• Opportunity to grow in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
