## About the Role

Strong technical fundamentals combined with an intuition for AI model behavior. You need to anticipate where a model will take shortcuts, distinguish genuine capability gaps from grader issues, and understand how a model will interpret a prompt. Most engineers significantly underestimate what frontier coding agents can already do; candidates who have spent significant time working with them will have a real head start., * Have just graduated or are about to graduate

 * Can code in Python
 * Are confident working independently
 * Are motivated by problems that require both technical skill and creative cleverness
 * No prior ML or AI experience required

We're happy to hire candidates who are very capable, even if they have no prior professional software experience., * Want a product engineering role building features for end users

 * Prefer a highly collaborative team environment with shared ownership
 * Want extensive structured mentorship

This is independent, high-ownership work. You own your tasks from start to finish, with regular check-ins and feedback.
