- Practical and pragmatic knowledge of JavaScript to add interactivity to sites where appropriate.
- Experience integrating designs with backend systems through templating languages. We use WordPress and Rails, you may have used anything similar.
- Ability to quickly grasp concepts. We work with an eclectic mix of startups and established businesses from a variety of backgrounds and industries. Being able to quickly understand and appreciate a client’s needs is critical.
