| product and interface design | designers with strong product judgment and trust-sensitive UX instincts | Loong should feel legible and humane, not only technically capable |
| frontend and interaction engineering | engineers who can turn rough user surfaces into polished flows | first-run experience, diagnostics, and future UI work all need strong interaction design |
| Rust and systems engineering | engineers with deep Rust skill and architecture discipline | the runtime depends on strong boundaries, reliability, and maintainability |
| hardware, robotics, and embodied AI | people who understand real-world device or operational constraints | the project should grow beyond a narrow software-only shell |
| cross-platform delivery | engineers who care about packaging and platform reliability | a private assistant runtime only matters if it works across the systems people actually use |
| testing, QA, CI, and operations | contributors who enjoy release hygiene, observability, and failure analysis | trust is built through boringly reliable validation and delivery |
| documentation and docs-site clarity | writers and engineers who can make public docs easier to scan and trust | public docs shape adoption and contribution quality directly |
| community care | contributors who are good at triage, review, and unblocking others | healthy collaboration is part of the product, not an afterthought |
