The keys to being good at this job

• Curious. All ideas come from somewhere. If you're not feeding yourself with good inputs, then the work will never be as good as it could have been.
• Super fun. We spend a lot of time working. Let's not make all that time suck.
• Self-motivated. We are small and growing, not big and bureaucratic. There will be plenty of times when you just need to figure things out.
• Ambition. We want people who think they can change the world.
• Writing skills. Part of your job is the communication of ideas, and that often takes a good writer.

Requirements
