Work on Zed's open source codebase: triage issues, fix bugs, implement community-requested features, review pull requests, improve GitHub processes, and optimize performance and UX while collaborating with community members.

Design and build systems that integrate language models into a real-time, collaborative Rust-based editor. Work on context systems for evolving codebases, connect LMs to editor tooling, improve reliability/latency/cost of AI features, and design evaluation frameworks for AI-assisted development while collaborating closely with editor and infrastructure engineers.

Build and optimize a GPU-accelerated, real-time collaborative code editor and its supporting systems in Rust. Work on CRDT-based collaboration, editor data structures, rendering, cross-platform support, performance profiling, and correctness with strong testing practices.

Design and prototype interactive features for a next-generation code editor, build keyboard-driven workflows and AI-agent interactions, implement UI in the product, and collaborate closely with engineers on performance-focused developer tools.
