What you'll need#
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and at least one modern programming language such as Swift, Kotlin, C++, TypeScript, Go, or Rust.
- Coursework, projects, or prior internship experience involving backend systems, mobile development, or distributed systems is a plus.
- Ability to work effectively in a small team environment, ask questions, and navigate ambiguity.
