  • Staying up-to-date with recent industry practices and advancements in open-source technology.

What We Require

  • 2+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong coding skills, with demonstrated proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C++, Python, or another similar programming language.
