- Proficiency in Python or TypeScript.
- A bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, computer science, physics or computational design from a highly ranked university.

- Comfort with occasional customer-facing conversations.
- Ability to work on-site five days per week.
Bonus points
- Experience creating internal automation or computational design tools at an engineering or construction firm.
- Academic grounding in both a physical science or engineering discipline and computing.
