About You

A natural learner and polyglot. You enjoy digging into new subjects, tools, and even programming languages.
A clear writer. You can break down difficult ideas for people who are just starting out.
Proficient with the command line. You’re comfortable using the terminal for more than just the basics
Self-directed. You manage your own time well and can drive your own projects in a remote team.
Our AI policy

AI can speed you up, but it can’t do the job for you.
If you need AI to handle the research or the writing, this role isn’t for you.
AI can’t spot the best courses. You have to find and test them yourself.
