• Great written and spoken English, including the ability to learn about and discuss complex architectures with other developers.
• A basic foundational understanding of the networking protocols used by the web.
• A high level of conscientiousness and self-motivation.
• Good design judgment and an ability to consider and empathize with end-users’ needs when designing UI interactions and workflows.
• Great teamwork and communication skills.

Desirable

• An understanding of and experience of asynchronous programming (such as Python Twisted or AsyncIO or similar).

• An understanding of self-hosted product development and Virtual Machine-based infrastructure.
• Experience with building and maintaining CI pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker).
