Job Description

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills Key Skillset Summary:
  • React proficiency demonstrated through clear, well-built professional experience.
  • TypeScript or strong JavaScript fundamentals with a clear understanding of type safety and why it matters in a team codebase
  • Python proficiency: able to write backend services, REST APIs, and data manipulation scripts without significant support
  • SQL working knowledge: able to query, filter, join, and aggregate data independently — including window functions and CTEs
  • Ability to read a wireframe and translate it into working front-end code with attention to detail and interaction fidelity
  • Clear communicator: able to ask for what you need, flag blockers early, and explain a technical decision in plain terms
Tech Stack:
Core Front-End
    React:
    components, hooks, props, state — able to build from scratch without a tutorial open
    • TypeScript /
    JavaScript:
    type annotations, async patterns, browser fundamentals
      CSS:
      layout, responsive design, basic animation — comfort translating a design into code
        Testing:
        unit tests with Jest or equivalent; understanding of why tests exist, not just how to write them Design & Prototyping
          Figma:
          able to read and navigate design files; bonus if you have created or annotated them
            Streamlit:
            rapid prototyping of data-backed surfaces and internal tooling
              Storybook:
              component documentation and isolated development (familiarity sufficient) Backend & Data
                Python:
                FastAPI, Flask, or equivalent for building REST APIs and backend services
                  SQL:
                  SELECT, JOIN, GROUP
                  BY, window functions, subqueries — comfortable querying a data warehouse independently
                    REST API
                    design: data contracts, request/response handling, error patterns
                    • Basic data pipeline awareness: able to read and understand how data flows from source to surface Tooling & Environment
                    Git:
                    branching, pull requests, code review workflow in a team environment
                    • Cloud familiarity: GCP, AWS, or Azure
                    • CI/CD basics: able to run tests, read a build pipeline, and understand deployment concepts Nice to have skills:
                    • Familiarity with
                    Figma:
                    able to open a design file, understand layout and component structure, and identify what has changed between versions
                    • Streamlit experience: built an internal tool, data app, or prototype for a class project or personal use
                    • Storybook or component documentation experience
                    • Mulesfot, FastAPI, Flask, or equivalent: built and deployed a backend service, even in a class or personal project context
                    • Experience with cloud platforms: GCP, AWS, or Azure — even at a student or free-tier level
                    • Exposure to databases beyond
                    SQL:
                    document stores, key-value stores, or basic data warehouse concepts

                    • Full-Stack Feature Ownership
                    • Work seamlessly across the entire technology stack with a primary focus on React on the front end while managing Python-based backend services, APIs, and data integrations.
                    • Own the entire lifecycle of what you ship across the full surface area of your work.
                    • Build frontend interfaces, write corresponding backend endpoints, and collaborate closely with data scientists to understand and render model outputs.
                    • Harden, orchestrate, and convert agentic output into enterprise-grade UI applications optimized for maximum security, usability, and performance.
                    • Functional Prototyping
                    • Develop working, functional prototypes using real, interactive code rather than static, click-through designs.
                    • Iterate rapidly to enable the team and end-users to interact with features early, allowing for quick directional shifts.
                    • Prioritize speed to close the gap between design and functionality, validating features quickly before committing to full-fidelity production.
                    • Component Library Contribution
                    • Contribute reusable components to a shared library that powers the entire portfolio of intelligence products.

                    • Cultivate a strong architectural sense of what features belong in a shared library versus what should remain product-specific.
                    • Design Collaboration
                    • Partner directly with designers to read wireframes precisely, ask critical questions early, and identify implementation constraints before they lead to rework.
