• Troubleshooting: Learn to triage bugs, isolate software glitches, and ensure our application code remains highly performant and secure.
• Collaborate Globally: Work closely with senior mentors, product managers, and testing teams to turn product specs into working software.
• Continuous Learning: Expand your skills into embedded development, payment kernels, security protocols, and secure deployment pipelines.

Experience You'll Need to Have

• Android Basics: Basic familiarity with the Android ecosystem, core app lifecycles, and user interface layouts through coursework or independent applications.
• Source Control: Basic working knowledge of Git (cloning, branching, merging).
• Communication: Excellent teamwork, critical thinking, and a hunger to learn from senior engineers.

Experience That Would Be Great to Have

• AI-Augmented Development: Familiarity or curiosity regarding generative AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM prompting tools) to streamline test generation and accelerate your coding workflow.
• Hands-on Projects: Any published Android applications, open-source contributions, or school-based AI, robotics, or hardware-interfacing projects.
• Low-Level Exposure: Exposure to C/C++, basic Linux environments, or operating system kernels during your university curriculum.
