- Strong programming skills in one or more languages (Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, etc.) with a robust understanding of algorithms and data structures.
- Exceptional analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with a keen eye for detail.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with software development internships at tech companies or startups.
- Coursework or projects in algorithms, systems design, databases, web development, or machine learning.
- Contributions to open source projects or personal coding projects demonstrating technical depth.
- Familiarity with version control (Git), testing frameworks, or modern development tools is a plus.
- Familiarity with AI or machine learning applications is a plus.
Why apply
- Competitive Compensation: Earn $40-60/hour that rewards your software engineering expertise.
- Innovative Impact: Work with a YC-backed startup revolutionizing AI with high-caliber software engineering content and insights.
- Flexible Engagement: Enjoy the freedom of a remote, asynchronous role that allows you to integrate your software engineering expertise into pioneering projects around your class schedule.
