What You Bring

Background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical experience. Comfortable with Python or JavaScript and testing APIs, SDKs, or integrations.

Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly. Organized and reliable — able to manage multiple responsibilities independently. Bonus: experience in hackathons, dev clubs, student labs, OSS projects, or early-stage startups.

Why Featherless
