  • Full-stack proficiency. You are an expert in React/React Native with a solid grasp of Python backend development. We work primarily in the web (React, TypeScript), mobile (React Native, with a small amount of Kotlin, Objective-C, and Swift), and backend (Python).
  • Product sense. You maintain a high degree of empathy for your internal and external users, and seek feedback from them about your work. You have an eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
  • Ownership mentality. You thrive with autonomy, take initiative to drive projects forward, and are comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Pragmatic approach. You find incremental approaches to solving complex problems, enjoy rapidly prototyping solutions, value your autonomy and operate with high integrity.
  • Performance-focused mindset. You have a solid understanding of React performance and client-server performance optimization, and a commitment to maintaining high-performance standards.
  • Growth mindset. You view challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities while building upon your successes. You push yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
