Software Engineer 2

A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.

A solid foundation in computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, software design) and an ability to apply them to real problems.

Proficiency in at least one modern programming language; Python is strongly preferred for this role, but experience in languages such as Go, Java, C++, or similar is also valuable.

Experience writing and testing software via internships, personal projects, open source contributions, coursework, coding competitions, or research. You can point to code you’ve written that you’re proud of, and explain the trade-offs you made.

An interest in or exposure to modern software delivery practices (e.g., CI/CD, containers, cloud platforms, observability tooling), and curiosity to go deeper. Prior hands-on experience is a plus but not a requirement for success in this role.

Growing skills in clear written and verbal communication: you can explain what you’re working on, ask good questions, and incorporate feedback. You’re motivated to keep improving in this area.
