- Dive into possibly unfamiliar areas like Python notebooks, VS Code plug-ins, and containerized environments
Other
- At least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience
- Location-based hybrid policy: currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time
