## About the Role

* Some foundation in software development, whether through a CS degree, a bootcamp, internships, personal projects, or equivalent self-taught experience.
 * Developing engineering judgment. You're learning what "good" looks like and how to tell solid solutions from shaky ones, including code an AI wrote.
 * The beginnings of a product mindset: you care about the user and the outcome, not just closing the ticket.
 * Interest in using modern AI development tools well, paired with the instinct to verify and test what you ship.
 * Comfortable writing code in at least one modern language, and eager to learn Elixir, Phoenix, and whatever else a problem calls for. (No prior Elixir experience required.)
 * A growing foundation in software design and good practices, including testing, version control, and code review.
 * Clear, direct communication and a willingness to ask good questions.
 * Curiosity and drive. You love to learn, and you see your work through to the end.
 * Activity on GitHub, a portfolio, or projects you can show us is a big plus.
