Personality = often More Important Than Skills...
- You can approach tasks highly organized step-by-step

- Problem solving attitude, if you face a problem investigate it to solve the problem you are facing.

- Make sure your code is reliable and test it. Don't skim the job, be critical with your own work

- You are able to take constructive feedback, and learn from your mistakes.

- You take responsibility for your actions, and acknowledge your responsibility if you make a mistake. If you have made the wrong decision (you’ll quickly learn if you have), you will find praise in responding quickly to the situation – shortly after discovering it.

- You speak, read and write good English and communicate clearly.

- You pay attention to details, always fully read instructions thoroughly and can follow workflows to the letter.

Huge extras: Database design (normalizing), big data

- Javascript We need you to at least have a basic good knowledge of (Native) Javascript and jQuery.
Huge extras: Experience with any front-end frameworks. Let us know which!

And some other skills that will move you further on top of the list:

- Experience with big data & HA (we're trying to decide with databases to use for big ambitious main focus project)
