• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and associated tools & principles

• MySQL/Postgres/RDBMS experience. (Just using ORM's doesn't count)

• Ability to design and implement the right technical solution for the right problem at the right time (i.e. you don't over-engineer, but you do thoroughly consider the constraints)

• Someone fun, interesting, and likes to build and hack. Not just software!
