## About the Role

Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a similarly rigorous technical field.

Ideal candidate

You are a product-minded builder with real engineering depth and strong UI/UX intuition

You can sit with an ambiguous problem, reduce it to its core, and build the first version before most people finish debating the requirements

You have taste. You know when a workflow is clunky. You know when a data model will age badly. You know when a product is almost useful but not quite there yet

Preferred qualifications

Evidence of exceptional building ability: shipped products, startup work, serious side projects, open-source contributions, research systems, internal tools, or technically ambitious independent work

Experience building products where workflow, permissions, data quality, and usability matter

Exceptional ability exemplified through personal projects
