• An excellent understanding of the development best practices most appropriate to the technical platform in use
• Comfortable with Continuous Integration/Delivery and automated testing.
• Ability to work in an Agile environment with those of different levels and offering different opinions and ideas
• An analytical mindset with a logical approach to solving problems  
• Good verbal, written and communication skills
