  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Tidy your public repos before you apply; recruiters and tech leads really do open them.
  • For each job, name one thing you built and its impact, like "cut checkout load time by 40%".
