• Implement clean, reusable UI components to our ongoing design system migration.

• Move past isolated tasks and build frontend features from scratch, backed by the dedicated mentorship and guidance of our senior engineers.

You check these boxes

We know you are still studying, so we don't expect you to know everything. For us, specific tools can be taught, but the right attitude is irreplaceable. Here is what we are looking for:

Your Tech Foundation

• You have a solid grasp of HTML and CSS, and you know how to structure a clean webpage.

• You possess good knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript and feel comfortable navigating modern JS concepts.

• You have at least a basic understanding of a modern frontend framework like React or Vue (even if it's from a personal or university project).

Your Mindset

• Resourceful & Time-Aware: You have a "dig-first" mentality. When faced with a bug, you love trying to crack it autonomously, but you also practice timeboxing, knowing exactly when to stop spinning your wheels and ask a senior for a hint.

• Proactive Communicator: You don't work in a silo. You loop people in early, ask questions when you're stuck, and keep the team updated on your progress.

• Curious Beyond the Classroom: Your interest in tech doesn't stop when class ends. You are genuinely curious and love exploring tech, reading blogs, or messing around with side projects outside of your studies.

It is awesome if you also have

• You already use modern AI assistants like GitHub Copilot or Claude Code to supercharge your coding workflow, debug faster, and accelerate your learning.
