• Proficient with code versioning (Git, SVN).
• Strong problem-solving skills and broad knowledge of current and upcoming web development techniques and principles.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Highly organized with the ability to function in a fast-paced business environment.

Our benefits are anything but basic, with vacation time available on day one (not to mention an extra bonus week during the holidays), an annual travel credit (for non-work related travel), and free office snacks and drinks to keep you energized when you’re around.
