  • Learn and apply best practices in software engineering, cloud development, and AI integration

  • Participate in code reviews and collaborate with senior engineers to improve code quality and system reliability

  • Stay current with emerging AI/ML technologies, tools, and engineering practices

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, AI, or a related field

  • Internship, co-op, academic project, or personal project experience in software engineering, AI/ML, or backend development

  • Proficiency in Python and familiarity with libraries or frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn

  • Understanding of backend development concepts such as APIs, microservices, and databases

  • Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript or Node.js is considered an asset

  • Exposure to REST APIs, SQL, and cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP through coursework, internships, or projects

  • Interest in AI/ML technologies, including LLMs and intelligent automation tools

  • Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn new technologies quickly

  • Good communication and collaboration skills in a team environment

  • Understanding of software development fundamentals, including testing, version control, and Agile development practices

  • Experience working on personal, academic, or hackathon projects involving AI or data platforms

  • Familiarity with tools such as Docker, Git, Kafka, or cloud deployment workflows

  • Exposure to data engineering, ETL pipelines, or analytics systems
