    Move fast with the latest tools: Leverage modern AI dev tools (Cursor, Windsurf) to experiment, prototype, and launch quickly.

    Be a collaborative, growth-minded engineer: Ship clean, tested code, embrace peer reviews, and contribute across design, product, and ML.

    Qualifications

    Real-world AI/ML experience: Delivered AI-driven products and features to users and hungry to stay ahead of the latest AI innovations.
