• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• The ability to clearly express and justify technical decisions.
• Working proficiency in written and spoken English.
  
  

We’d be especially thrilled if you have:

• Experience with web technologies and application frameworks.
• An understanding of HTTP, REST, and networking concepts.
• Experience with non-JVM platforms or frameworks.
• Experience with library API design and versioning.
