· B.S or higher in Computer Science, or equivalent experience

· Well established practice of building and deploying web applications or interactive sites using Web Components

· High proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript (ES6+)

· Fluent with Test Driven Development (TDD)

· Confidence to be an opinionated, pragmatic developer - especially in the areas of writing high-performance, reliable and maintainable code
