skills in Python, JavaScript, or a similar language; interest in low-code tools, automation, and AI

technologies; strong communication skills and enthusiasm for working directly with customers;

ability to translate business problems into technical solutions; resourceful, curious, and

comfortable working independently; eager to learn quickly in a high-ownership, fast-moving

environment; excited to work in person with a talent-dense team. Bonus Experience with low-code platforms such as Retool, n8n, Zapier, or Make; familiarity with APIs,

SQL, and software integrations; exposure to AI/LLM tooling or AI-powered workflow automation;
