Qualities we're looking for
You love learning and self-teaching.
When faced with something you don’t understand— you’ll Google it and read a reputable article or watch a video on YouTube before you ask someone how to do a thing.
You can edit someone else’s work and polish it up.
You’re not afraid to edit someone else’s work or provide clear, courteous, honest feedback to arrive at the best final result.
You sweat the small stuff.
You're always watching for typos, and keeping an eye out for the details that others miss. You get that the last 10% of a project is what can make all the difference and you don’t ship work that is incomplete or unpolished.
You’re analytical and creative.
You’re an engineer at heart and love building things that are functional and scalable, but you also want to build something beautiful and engaging that people enjoy spending time with.
You’re self-organizing.
You manage your own time and work effectively and efficiently. You’re not the type to wait for a project manager to tell when you’re over-budget or at a deadline.
You can express your opinion confidently.
You’re not scared to speak up when you disagree, or when you think something needs improvement, and you do it with confidence and respect for others.
You're a self-starter.
You understand when you already have permission— you see something is broken, and you fix it. You see how to improve something, and you make it happen.
You're a team player.
You don’t care who has the idea, as long as it’s what is needed. You care more about the end result than about personal recognition.
