- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent field, from a top program preferred.
- 4+ years professional experience of software engineering experience.

- Design sensibility - we pride ourselves on building an intuitive product. We want our employees’ experience with their internal tools to be the same.
- Process and operational thinking - you can tackle a problem independently and quickly iterate to a solution, and then also document it in a way that’s easy to understand for all audiences (especially non-technical ones!).

- Prior tech company or startup experience a plus.
