- Design and build simple, focused, scalable projects
- Coordinate project development with our front-end developers and hardware engineers

- Lives and breathes Twelve-Factor principles
- Python experience: From Django web applications to QT hardware interfaces, most of our work is written in Python. You should be able to pick up other languages as needed, such as JavaScript, Go, and PHP.
- Solves problems: How can we build this impossible thing? How can we support more users? No matter the problem, you dive in and find solutions.

- You know your way around AWS.
