Most important of all, is that you actually like MindsDB and believe in what we are trying to accomplish.

- What is interesting in my data and why?
- When should I not trust this model and why?
- How can I improve this model?
- Why did the model give this prediction?
Most MindsDB's products are open source and our company embraces a fully remote workstyle, ideally, you should have some experience working remotely and prefer this setup compared to office jobs.
