• you have strong experience in software development
• you want to build the tools club admins and committees rely on to run their club
• you can own a feature end-to-end with light guidance
• you have a product mindset: you're comfortable critiquing designs and understanding user journeys to help land on the best solution, not just implementing what's handed to you
