Start Your Career Inside a AI Product Platform Team
This is not a classroom-style graduate program. You join our core
product engineering team, work alongside experienced architects
and engineers, and build capability through real production work
with increasing ownership.
01Enterprise B2B Delivery Contribute to enterprise B2B products, not simulated exercises.
02Architect-Led Mentoring Learn directly through design reviews, pairing, feedback, and
code reviews.
04Increasing Ownership Progress from guided contribution toward independent
engineering responsibility.

Role Expectations
What Makes You Stand Out
Essential Cultural Requirement
Alignment with all 9C values is expected.
Technical potential matters, but how you think, work, and treat
people matters equally. Candidates should be able to demonstrate
behaviours aligned with all nine
values throughout the hiring process and in day-to-day work.

Engineering, Information Technology, or a relevant quantitative
domain.
Possess solid foundational computer science understanding across
algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented architectures.
Demonstrate practical software engineering skills writing readable
code in modern JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python ecosystems.
Show foundational exposure to structured database schema designs
alongside general awareness of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Maintain keen technical enthusiasm for artificial intelligence
systems, retrieval models, prompt design, and automated tools.
Apply rigorous logical reasoning and thoughtful analytical methods
when isolating complex programming challenges.
Communicate technical ideas clearly and demonstrate proactive
personal accountability in a remote team setting.
Maintain an organized dedicated remote workstation configured with
a stable, high-speed business internet connection.

Technical Competency
A hard pass/fail checkpoint inside the 2-hour Technical
Assessment. Every candidate who reaches Stage 4 has already
demonstrated the engineering baseline we rely on. Technical
competence opens the door — it does not rank you once you are
through it.
Computer Science Concepts — data structures,
algorithms, complexity, code readability.
The sole ranking criterion among candidates who clear Gate 3.
Every qualified applicant is scored against all nine 9C values
— the strongest fit wins the offer.
Candor — transparent and respectful, even in
difficult situations.
Courage — steps forward, takes thoughtful risks,
challenges the status quo.
Commitment — takes ownership of every promise
and follows through.
Consistency — shows up, practises the right behaviours,
delivers daily.
Customer Success — measures personal success
by the success of others.
Creativity — understands what exists, thinks
differently, adds real value.
Compassion — puts people first, listens, respects,
responds with empathy.
