4. Participate in data modeling and database performance optimization (schema design, query tuning, maintainability).
5. Collaborate closely with product and design to translate ambiguous requirements into shipped systems.
6. Uphold engineering quality through code reviews, testing, and continuous improvement.
7. Help debug and resolve production issues; contribute to improving reliability and observability.
8. Learn to make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed and correctness in a fast-moving AI lab environment.

Preferred Background

1. Experience building or contributing to production fullstack systems (internships, projects, or professional experience).
2. Strong TypeScript fundamentals across frontend and/or backend.

9. Curiosity, ownership mindset, and strong attention to detail.

Nice to Have

1. Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, or DevOps workflows.
2. Experience building or contributing to production-grade systems.
3. Exposure to AI-adjacent, data-heavy, or ML-powered products.
4. Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments (startup, lab, or similar).
