- You are open to and flexible when it comes to different languages and tech stacks. You have an overall polyglot mindset
- You do what is right, do not cut corners, are ethical, and open about your work. You do not compromise quality for deadlines
- You understand the importance of continuous refinement and are not shy about seeking and receiving suggestions for areas of improvement
- Even when stakes are high, there are varying opinions, and possibly strong emotions, you are able to have a healthy and professional conversation
- You want to actively learn and develop yourself and you take genuine pride in developing new skills
- You are able to take initiative, responsibility, and independently solve difficult technical problems yourself. Moreover, this means you can also provide solutions or workarounds
What the job involves
