Desired experience and qualities

Outstanding execution across frontend and backend environments. Experience with data architecture is a plus.
\n\t

Highest level of professional and intellectual integrity. Trust matters.

Ability to handle both success and failure, as well as positive feedback and constructive criticism.
\n\t
\n\t
80/20 mindset, structured self-starter, with strong drive.
\n\t
\n\t
Ability to work independently (we do not micromanage our developers) and deliver consistent, high-quality work according to established best practices.
\n\t
\n\t
Understanding of B2B trade is a plus; knowledge of trade credit insurance is a nice-to-have.
