What you’ll bring

• Current enrolment in a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Foundational programming knowledge and experience with at least one modern language, such as Python or JavaScript.
• A basic understanding of web development, APIs, or databases gained through coursework, personal projects, or previous internships.
• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases is a plus, but is not required
• A collaborative approach and enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced team.
• Clear communication skills and a willingness to ask questions, seek feedback, and learn.
