What We're Looking For

We are far more interested in what you can build than where you studied.

You might be:

A self-taught developer with a strong portfolio
A recent graduate with practical project experience
Someone already using AI coding tools daily to build software
A hobbyist developer who has built impressive side projects
If you enjoy solving problems, learning new technologies and building useful systems, we'd like to hear from you.

We are particularly interested in projects that demonstrate problem-solving, automation, AI-assisted development, integrations or technical creativity.

As part of the interview process, candidates may be asked to demonstrate how they use AI-assisted development tools as part of their normal workflow.
