What are we looking for?

We’re searching for curious and driven individuals with a passion for tackling challenging problems - who are willing and equipped to use AI as a key part of how they learn, build, and solve.

Technical & Cognitive Prowess

• Strong Foundations: You’re on track for (or have recently achieved) a first-class degree (UK) or a GPA of 3.7-4.0 (US) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or arelated STEM subject from a reputable University. You have previously achieved a minimum A*AA at A-level with an A* in Maths or Further maths, or equivalent. You understand core programming principles, data structures, and algorithms.
• Practical AI Experience: You have practical experience beyond your coursework that shows your passion for technology. You have used AI-powered development tools (e.g., agentic coding tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to enhance your personal projects, improve code quality, or learn more efficiently.
• Advanced Problem-Solving: You exhibit strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with an ability to break down complex problems and a genuine excitement for applying computer science fundamentals to new challenges.
• Quality-Focused Coding: You can recognize and articulate the qualities of well-structured, high-quality code and can write clean, logical, and well-tested code in at least one language.
  
  

Cultural Alignment

• Curiosity & Drive: You’re driven by a desire to understand the "why” behind technical decisions, and you actively pursue knowledge - especially in fast-moving areas where clear resources may not yet exist. You learn independently and see AI not as a niche skill but as a core part of how modern engineers learn, build, and solve.
• Growth Mindset: You see challenges as learning opportunities and show persistence when tackling difficult problems. You are not afraid to admit when you don't know something and are proactive in asking for help.
• Ownership & Impact: Your core motivation is to deliver work that truly matters and solves real-world problems. You thrive on taking responsibility for your work from start to finish.
• Collaboration: You enjoy learning from others, sharing ideas contributing to team goals, and being part of a high-performing team
