- Proven experience designing complex data models that fit into business and compliance requirements.
- Proven experience developing web applications, preferably in an agile SaaS environment.
- You’ve heard of Ruby and Rails and have experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python. You may even know enough about React and Typescript to have opinions about how frequently "the new hot thing" changes.
- You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of using something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
- You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
