• Leverage agile practices in start-up mode, encourage collaboration, prioritization, and urgency to develop at a rapid pace

• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate

• Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
• Proven experience working across all levels of the development stack
• Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
• Strong familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
