• You thrive in a team-based environment filled with driven people that value a healthy work-life balance
• You effectively communicate ideas, both written and verbal, that showcase your analytical skills
• You seek constructive feedback to grow your capabilities

What We're Looking For:

• Completed or pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a similar field
• A proven record of success (academics, awards, etc.)
• Willing to relocate to Chicago, IL or New York, NY
