## About the role

We want to be transparent: this is not an internship. The Part-Time Student Worker Program is designed to complement your academic experience by providing meaningful, ongoing work alongside your studies. Rather than participating in a cohort-based program, you'll join a team directly and contribute to real projects with real impact. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Bachelor's degree (completed, or in progress/recently completed) in computer science, engineering, or a related field
- 0-2 years of professional or internship experience in software engineering
- Working proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
- Familiarity with React (or a similar frontend framework), REST APIs, and Git/version control
- Ability to work independently on well-scoped tasks and ask clarifying questions when requirements are ambiguous
- Strong communication skills and eagerness to learn from senior engineers
