• Familiarity with continuous integration;
• Passionate for creating a great user experience;
• Experience working with remote teams;
• Good communication skills (both verbal and written).
  
  

What you'll get in return:

• The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business.
