This Role Favors Doers

This role is best suited for students who ship. You have a strong bias toward action and experimentation. When you see a problem, your instinct is to build a working solution, test it, and improve it—rather than over-optimize plans or documentation. You enjoy turning ambiguous ideas into concrete, usable products that others rely on.

You're Good At

• Breaking complex workflows into simpler, more scalable components
• Building and shipping tools, services, or experiments that solve real problems
• Operating comfortably in ambiguity and evolving requirements
• Learning new tools, platforms, and approaches quickly
• Bridging technical implementation and business outcomes
• Taking ownership and driving work forward independently
  
  

What You'll Bring

Required

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program
• Hands-on experience building software, tools, or AI-powered projects—whether through coursework, personal projects, hackathons, or internships
• Hands-on experience with Claude/Markdown-based development
• Ability to work end-to-end: from problem definition through build, deployment, and iteration
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• English fluency (verbal and written) and comfort working in collaborative team environments
• Curiosity, adaptability, and a track record of building things that work
• Required Tool: Claude Code
  
  

Preferred

• Experience building or contributing to projects outside of class—open-source contributions, hackathon wins, side projects, or campus tech initiatives
• Familiarity with generative AI tools and agentic development patterns
• Prior internship or work experience in a technology or product-focused role

You must live within a reasonable commuting distance of your home office. As a member of that office, it is expected you will be in the office as directed. This role puts you on an accelerated path of personal and professional growth and development and so, at times, requires extended working hours.
