• Design and build backend services, APIs, and orchestration layers powering agentic AI features in Python.
• Develop, integrate, and harden LLM-based agents, tools, and multi-step workflows.
• Own a scoped, business‑critical project from design through delivery, with weekly mentor and program‑lead check‑ins.
• Participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint cycles alongside the engineering team.
• Write tests and contribute to documentation for the services and components they own.
• Collaborate with frontend, data, and product partners to ship work end‑to‑end.

• Demonstrated proficiency in Python with the ability to write, debug, and reason about non‑trivial code independently required.

• Prior internship, open‑source contribution, or substantive personal project work in backend engineering or AI/LLM tooling.
• Coursework or project experience involving agentic systems, distributed systems, or LLM application development preferred.
• 1–2 years of relevant work, club, or volunteer experience in software engineering preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in technical contexts.
• Ability to operate independently between weekly check‑ins, surfacing blockers proactively rather than waiting to be asked.
• Comfort working in production codebases with established conventions, code review processes, and engineering standards.
• Genuine intellectual curiosity around AI, agentic systems, and emerging engineering patterns.
• Attention to detail in code quality, testing, and incorporation of review feedback.
• Ability to balance multiple work streams and meet committed deadlines.
• Demonstrated self‑learner with interest in continued professional development and personal growth.

• Superior health plan options
• Dental, Vision, HSA/FSA, Life and AD&D coverage, and more
• Top Tier 401(k) retirement savings plans that offers a $1.20 match for every dollar up to 6% plus discretionary profit‑sharing contributions (eligible January following 18 months of service)
