Please apply for the area that best matches your background.</p> <h2> What we value </h2> <ul> <li>Evidence that you personally executed or tested the project</li> <li>Clear distinction between confirmed findings and hypotheses</li> <li>Practical recommendations rather than generic reports</li> <li>Strong testing and debugging habits</li> <li>Honest communication about uncertainty</li> <li>Ability to explain your own work during a short walkthrough</li> </ul> <p>AI-assisted tools may be used for research, coding or writing, but all findings must be independently verified.
