This job is probably not for you if...  

You get easily distracted and need to be closely managed on a daily basis.
You do not have good time management skills or ability to be organized.
You are fazed by shifting priorities.
You don’t enjoy trying new things in technology or trying new tactics to improve efficiency.
You do not have experience working from home, in a virtual team, or in an agile development environment.
You do not have attention to detail or a high level of follow through.
You do not like dogs 🐶 ( 😉 ) or communicating with people from all over the world!  

Note: There will be times where it’s all hands on deck for planned activities, and times when we meet outside our own time zone. Flexibility is a must as this position may need a level of responsiveness outside of the normal work week and standard work hours during three to four events a year.
