Document how your features work for support and new developers
Write unit and integration tests before you merge
Pair with junior developers to unblock them
Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind

Must-haves

Experience writing automated tests
You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
Good SQL and understanding of relational databases

Helpful, not essential
