About you
- A good command of English: written and verbal, producing and understanding.- As a distributed team, we primarily communicate via Slack, so the ability to clearly and completely communicate in written English is vital. - We also frequently hop on calls, both audio and video, so the ability to clearly speak and understand English is also vital.
- A good surface/contextual-level understanding of “the full web stack”.
- Experience with AWS and/or Docker would be good.
- Knowledge of Elastic Beanstalk, and CloudFormation or Terraform would be terrific.
- Familiarity with Python and its ecosystem would definitely be useful.
- A desire to fix problems “properly” (not just paper over them) and an understanding that you often can’t fix problems properly. We want you to want to build a good-quality well-engineered solutions, but to know that sometimes you just need to “hack it in”. There are always tradeoffs to be made.
- The capability of taking a task and owning it. That doesn’t mean you necessarily do all the work, but it does mean you take on responsibility for completion, and ask for help and advice as appropriate.
