• Document code and APIs concisely and unambiguously
• Break down tasks into sub-tasks that are completable in a short amount of time and report completion as required by managers
• Pragmatically adhere to software engineering principles (modularity, incremental development, no premature optimization, no feature creep, no speculative generality, ...)

Education / Experience

• A minimum of 5 years of development experience
• Experience working with Git
• Practical experience with Agile software development methods
• Knowledge of functional and object-oriented programming paradigms
• Degree in Computer Science is desirable but not essential
