• Build and ship production-grade software with AI as a core part of the development workflow, using AI tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code
• Design systems where AI agents work within human workflows, and help maintain the shared system context (designs, constraints, standards) that keeps AI output accurate and reliable
• Review code, whether written by a person or by AI, for correctness, quality, security, and performance, and mentor teammates

• Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)
