• You are interested in being part of a team that works in a highly agile environment.
• Solving problems at scale excites you.
• You are constantly looking to learn new technologies and are not afraid to work outside your comfort zone to get things done.

• You do not push just one technology agenda – you choose the best tool for the problem at hand.
• You believe that the craft of software development is about writing code right the first time. For you, code reviews and automated testing are not chores – they are a core part of writing great software.
• You automate selected network administration tasks through creation and maintenance of systems, scripts and tools.
• You do not throw your code over the wall. You launch it, own it, support it and make it incrementally better for the benefit of customers.
