Responsibilities:
- Embrace the Blur: Take vague or high-level requirements and turn them into actionable software. Instead of suffering in silence, you will actively visit customers and stakeholders to seek clarification and figure out what they really need.
- Prototype Fearlessly: Write code, put it in front of users, gather feedback, and iterate. You know that the first version is rarely the final version, and you don't get overly attached to your code.
- Bother the Seniors: Actively seek out our senior developers to review your code, explain complex architectural decisions, and absorb their hard-earned wisdom (they like it, we promise).
- Code with AI: Lean heavily into AI-assisted software development tools. We want you to use every modern advantage to multiply your output and learn new paradigms faster.

- 3 yrs., B.S. in a technical discipline or 4 additional yrs. in place of B.S.

- A Healthy Relationship with Ambiguity: You don't freeze when the path isn't perfectly paved. You are adaptable, driven by changing requirements, and love playing with new tech.
- Strong Communication: You are comfortable talking to humans, not just machines. You can ask good questions and actively listen to the answers.
- The Basics: Comfortable navigating Linux environments and using Git without accidentally deleting the main branch.
Candidates are desired to have the following skills:
- Hands-on experience playing with agentic AI frameworks or building tools utilizing LLMs.
- Familiarity with containerization (like Docker) so you can run your prototypes smoothly.
