Job Specifications
Summary
Before proceeding please be advised that the work volume will be high, while the financial compensation will be minimal and paid upon reaching set milestones. SkipQ is a startup and consequently we do not want to provide wrong impressions or ideas. Having said that, if you rely mainly on AI tools for coding, this role might not be the right fit for you, so we’d prefer not to move forward. Please proceed only if you do coding on your own and can demonstrate your own problem-solving skills.
