We're interested in your ability to solve technical problems, support fellow team members, and partner with teams across the organization in a pursuit of transforming the way designers work. Shipping high quality code, mentoring those around you, and communicating with peers often. Expertise in JavaScript, React, and Ruby is a requirement.

- An analytical mindset. You think critically about your work, ask questions, approach problems from different angles, and are excited to improve the product.
- The ability to make things happen even when requirements are a little fuzzy.
- A customer-centric lens. You look forward to working with them so we can identify pain points and create solutions.
- Enthusiasm to problem solve. When things inevitably break, you eagerly jump in to diagnose and fix the core issues.
