  • You've got a background in software engineering, including Front End technologies like JavaScript.
  • You're a problem-solver, pragmatically exploring options and finding effective solutions. 
  • An understanding of how to design and build well-structured, maintainable systems. 
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to work.
