• Collaborate with and mentor other engineers on best practices

• Work closely with product managers and stakeholders to ensure we are building the best solutions

• Work in an Agile environment with frequent feedback and deployments

• Design and implement a web application from the ground up

• Write complete, testable code with meaningful unit test coverage

• Write tech specs clearly explaining planned work

• Give and receive constructive feedback from peers and managers
