Regardless of your specialization, a few things we're always looking for:

• Passion. You love programming and are always looking to learn more and hone your craft. 

• Excel in a team environment. You look for help when you're stuck and you want to help your teammates when they need it.

• Experience managing your time. You know when to go deeper on a task versus recognizing that it's time to get 'er done and move on to the next thing. Quality is important, but so is speed!

• Projects you've worked on in the past (personal or professional) got finished, and got finished...and it had a lot to do with you.
