To thrive in this role you should have:

• Deep understanding of HTTP fundamentals; making requests, setting headers, etc
• Experience consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs
• Experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD automation

To thrive on the team you should have:

• A willingness and comfort communicating remotely through chat, docs, video calls, and Jira issues
• Ideas, opinions, and the ability to share them through respectful proposals, presentations, and team-wide discussions
