- Prior experience building RESTful APIs and web services.
- Familiar with designing for non-relational (MongoDB) and relational (MySQL) databases.
- Comfortable working day-to-day with remote team members and juggling multiple projects.
- The terminal is your best friend and you enjoy wearing the DevOps hat (AWS, networking, Ubuntu Linux, security, and using automation tools like Ansible).
Also important:
- A degree in computer science/computer engineering/web development or a resume full of practical experience.
- Eager to learn new things, solve hard problems, and hustle.
- An eye for visual design and the ability to work collaboratively with designers and artists.
