• Ability to take ownership of technical decisions and follow through on agreed milestones.
• Experience with collaborative development, Git, and code review.
• Ability to explain technical concepts clearly and work constructively with student developers.
• Attention to accessibility, privacy, security, and ease of use.
• Reliable communication, internet access, and time management.
• A portfolio showing completed work and your specific contributions.

Experience mentoring junior developers or collaborating with university project teams is helpful. A degree is not required.

WORKING ARRANGEMENT
This is a hands-on development role with some technical coordination and guidance responsibilities. Collaboration with interns will depend on their skills, availability, and university program requirements.

We anticipate approximately 15–20 hours per week during active development. Final hours and project duration will be agreed after reviewing the requirements and student team’s contributions. Potential ongoing maintenance work will depend on project needs and funding.

This posting is for advance recruitment. The start date is tentative, and applicants are not expected to reserve availability or leave current work before an agreement is finalized.

1. Your résumé or a summary of relevant experience.
2. Links to two or three completed applications, explaining what you personally built.
