• Debug backend issues using logs, stack traces, and code tracing.
• Write and improve unit tests for frontend components and backend code, as well as simple integration tests.
• Learn how frontend applications consume backend APIs and handle requests, responses, and errors.
• Participate in code reviews, pair programming, documentation, refactoring, and code-quality improvements.
• Assist with production deployments and investigate production issues under guidance.
• Observe integration work involving external systems and learn about the team's work with MCPs, agents, and marketing systems.
• Experiment with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, generative AI, and agent-based systems; build small proof-of-concepts and document findings.
• Communicate progress, ask for help when blocked, write clear commit messages and pull-request descriptions, and collaborate with teammates.
• Participate in the on-call rotation for customer-facing applications, responding to issues and escalating them when needed.

• Basic relational database knowledge and ability to write simple SQL queries, including SELECT, INSERT, and UPDATE.
• Familiarity with Git, version control, branching, and merging.
• Systematic debugging skills using error messages, logs, IDE tools, browser developer tools, and console output.
• Ability to receive code review feedback, document decisions, and explain technical learning clearly in writing.
• Interest in AI tools, large language models, generative AI, and agents, with a willingness to experiment with AI-based approaches.
• Written and spoken English proficiency for collaboration in a largely asynchronous environment.

Preferred Skills

• Academic, bootcamp, or personal projects demonstrating frontend and backend development fundamentals.
• Experience with GitHub or similar tools in a collaborative setting.
