  4. Proficient in using GitHub for version control, code reviews, and collaboration.
  5. Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively.
  6. Meticulous attention to detail and problem-solving mindset.
  7. Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote setting.



Preferred Qualifications:

  1. Previous experience contributing to open-source projects or AI-related initiatives.
  2. Knowledge of modern software development practices and pipelines in game development.
