Assist in modeling cloud-native solutions using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, Bedrock, and related services. Participate in API development and data integration experiments using RESTful architectures. Backend Engineering & System Design Support Support the maintenance and experimentation of backend services using C#/.NET on Windows Server and AWS EC2. Develop or refactor backend modules to test architectural ideas or system migrations. Participate in early design work for future system components alongside the CTO. Documentation & Planning Support Generate technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and internal briefs to aid in executive decision-making. Track findings and help prepare presentation materials summarizing research or prototyping results. Requirements QUALIFICATIONS Actively pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field. Experience with or strong interest in backend development using C# and Python. Familiarity with REST APIs, cloud services, or AWS basics preferred. Eagerness to explore AI, automation, and modern cloud-native architecture. SOFT SKILLS Inquisitive, self-motivated, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in emerging tech landscapes. Able to synthesize technical findings clearly in writing or visual formats. Strong collaborator with good time management and attention to detail.
