  • Strong product mindset with attention to detail
  • Eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a high-performing team
  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats and working independently
  • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or similar is a plus (not required)
  • A passion for Ruby on Rails (and sport is a bonus!)
