Qualifications
Minimum Qualification(s): - Individuals who are completing or have recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline. - Good understanding of data structures, algorithms, operating systems, computer networks, and other computer science fundamentals. Proficient in at least one mainstream programming language and able to apply these fundamentals to practical engineering problems. - Advanced AI Coding proficiency: Demonstrated hands-on experience using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Trae, or similar AI Coding tools to complete real development tasks or non-trivial projects. You should be able to explain a concrete end-to-end workflow covering requirement understanding, complex task decomposition, code generation and modification, debugging, testing, code review, and quality assurance, as well as the resulting improvements in engineering efficiency or delivery quality. - Strong and consistent programming ability: Able to independently deliver a non-trivial module or project, with attention to correctness, readability, maintainability, and performance. You should be able to clearly explain the technical approach, implementation details, debugging process, testing methods, and key trade-offs. Simply listing programming languages or frameworks, or presenting only basic course assignments, is not sufficient evidence of programming ability. - Strong interest in and hands-on ability with AI Agents.
