Pick your seat on the ship
For the crew to break orbit, here’s the hats we need to fill!
BASE EXPECTATION: Exceptionally high agency, adaptability and learnability.
Salary is no bar.
Cloud Cartographer
Commonly known as: DevOps Intern / Infra Engineer
Assignment Link
Superpowers we want
- Carve out private subnets and wire VMs together like it’s second nature.
- Stand up reproducible infra — clicks in the console don’t count, IaC does.
- Keep workers off the public internet while still letting the front door breathe.
- Sense the difference between “it works on my VM” and “it works on a fresh account at 2am”.
- Skills (Brownie points): AWS/GCP, Terraform/Pulumi, VPC + subnet design, systemd/containers, Python/TypeScript, basic RPC plumbing.
Realtime Whisperer
Commonly known as: B2B Custom Agent Engineer
Assignment Link
Superpowers we want
- Make streaming feel alive — tokens, interruptions, idle nudges, the whole feel of a phone call rendered in text.
- Tame WebSockets so reconnects and partial state don’t ruin the illusion.
- Track conversation context tight enough to know where an interruption landed, not just that one happened.
- Ship a UI that customers can’t put down — chat tabs, dark mode, typing indicators, all of it.
- Skills (Brownie points): WebSockets, streaming LLM APIs (OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic), React/Next.js, state machines, latency-aware UX.
Agentic Architect
Commonly known as: Fullstack AI Engineer
Assignment Link
Superpowers we want
- Build agentic systems that don’t hallucinate — guardrails, structured outputs, and “not mentioned” beats a confident lie.
- Treat context as a first-class citizen: extracted data, conversation history, and intent all live in structured memory.
- Know when to reach for a tool vs. when to let the LLM cook.
- Wrap the whole thing in a clean, modular fullstack app with a UX that makes the intelligence obvious.
- Skills (Brownie points): TypeScript/Python, OpenAI/Claude APIs, agent frameworks, PDF/text parsing, schema-driven outputs, fullstack delivery (bonus: WebRTC for the optional voice mode).
