• Experience working on a SOA or microservice-based application.
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
• Solid sense of responsibility; driving a project from inception to completion
• Affinity for solving problems and shipping impactful features, not polishing perfect code or architecture
• Experience working in a collaborative coding environment, refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests
