• Passionate about AI and systems design, with a strong drive to innovate and improve how work gets done.
• Passionate about open source software and love to solve new technical challenges.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent experience.
• Software engineering background, especially in backoffice systems and workflow automation.
• Proficiency with LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), APIs, RAG, and prompt engineering.
