• Document code and features for handoff and onboarding
• Receive and act on code review feedback constructively
• Communicate progress and blockers transparently to the lead engineer

REQUIREMENTS & SKILLS:

• 2–5 yrs professional software engineering experience (any modern stack)
• Solid fundamentals — data structures, API design, testing discipline, version control
• Basic familiarity with AI/ML concepts sufficient to work alongside AI Engineers without friction
• Growing familiarity with cloud deployment basics (CI/CD, containers)
• Reliable and detail-oriented — ships what was agreed, flags what wasn't
