Sandbox Development: Rapidly prototype new ideas in a safe environment before moving them into live production.
Cross-Functional Support: Act as a technical translator, helping non-technical teams understand how to use AI to solve their specific daily challenges.
Collaborative Coding: Participate in weekly "Prompt Syncs" to share successful automations, reusable code snippets, and lessons learned with the wider strike team.
Accuracy & Ethics: Monitor AI outputs to ensure they are accurate, unbiased, and compliant with company data security policies.

Requirements:

Technical aptitude (engineering/finance/technology) and less
than 2 years of work experience.
Proficiency in Python and/or strong interest in Generative AI and API integrations.
