  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Helpful, not essential
