• Use and help build AI-powered features (document extraction, validation, agent-driven workflows, automation) and incorporate AI coding tools into your daily workflow.
• Learn production engineering concepts: backend services, APIs, asynchronous workflows, data models, testing, and reliability best practices.
• Join customer discovery sessions, observe product usage, and translate learning into software improvements.
• Improve reliability and usability: triage bugs, reduce friction in workflows, and automate repetitive work.
• Participate in code reviews, receive mentorship, and gradually take ownership of larger engineering work.
