Skills & Qualities were looking for
Hard Skills
- Bachelors/Masters degree in Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
- 2 years of experience as a front-end developer (rare exceptions for highly skilled developers) at a fast-paced, preferably early / growth stage start-up.
- You're familiar with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React UI framework.

- Well-versed with SQL database design & RDBMS concepts.
- Strong arithmetic reasoning, logical and analytical thinking skills.

Soft Skills

- Navigating ambiguity in design: You can translate high-level designs into production-ready UI. Given clear requirements, you are comfortable making judgment calls on tradeoffs and edge cases in the user experience on your own.

- The right attitude toward a sense of urgency, risk, and ambiguity that comes naturally with working at an early-stage startup.
