• 2+ years experience working with modern technologies on a full-stack team
• Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming best practices
• Strong sense of responsibility; driving a project from inception to completion
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done

• Desire to mentor and help others improve their skills

Nice to have:

• Proven track record of building highly-scalable REST APIs
