If the answer to that last question is “yes,” please send a short (~250-word) cover letter and resume/CV, including any links to your GitHub or other relevant work, to [email protected].

Note: Your cover letter should:

• Explain what it is about us, and/or about your background, that makes you interested in us specifically (~100 words)
