• Application of programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, or C++
• Application of object-oriented design principles and version control systems such as Git
• Analytical problem-solving applied to software engineering tasks
• Written and verbal communication in a technical environment
• Collaboration and independent work within team-based engineering settings

Nice to haves:

• Exposure to web application development
• Exposure to frontend frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue
• Experience working with APIs and structured data formats such as JSON
• Experience building software beyond course assignments such as personal projects, hackathons, student design teams, open-source contributions, or internships
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments
• Experience designing or implementing user-facing applications
• Experience with data visualization, diagramming, or interactive interfaces

Pay Range:

The hourly pay range for this position is $25 to $32

Please note that the pay range information provided in this posting pertains specifically to the primary location, which is the top location listed in case multiple locations are available.
