Ability to write modular, well-tested, maintainable code while remaining pragmatic and moving quickly.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and diving into unfamiliar problem spaces.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical documentation.
Curiosity, sound judgment, and a commitment to continuously improving the product for partners and end users.
