8. Collaborating with our product engineers on developing novel interfaces for creating apps with both AI and code.
9. Staying up-to-date with the latest LLM technologies and implementing them in projects.

• 4+ years of experience in software engineering and strong Python background.
• Background in contributing to open source software, competitive programming, and/or interesting side projects.

Nice-to-haves:
