  • Drive and a track record of going above and beyond expectations.
  • Well-organised, self-starting, and able to deliver to schedule.
  • Professional manner in interacting with colleagues, partners, and community.
  • Experience designing and writing high-quality Web technologies.
  • Experience with and passion for Typescript, React, or Flutter.
