• Familiarity with modern AI services (OpenAI, Claude, MCP-enabled apps).

• Basic full-stack development knowledge.

• Understanding of IT or cybersecurity principles.

• Passion for optimizing workflows and enhancing productivity through technology.

What You’ll Gain

• Experience with state-of-the-art AI and automation tools in an enterprise setting.

• Opportunities to design and deploy solutions that impact real users daily.

• Mentorship from seasoned engineers and cybersecurity professionals.

• A chance to build a portfolio of meaningful projects in IT, security, and automation.
