- An ability to thrive in a fast paced environment
- A growth mindset and a constant curiosity and fearlessness to dive into the unknown
- An ability to write maintainable, well-tested, modular code, but also be pragmatic about moving fast
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write clear technical documentation
- Experience with frameworks such as Rails, Django, Express or equivalent is a bonus
- Past experience working on crypto or financial products a plus, and while not required, we do look for people who are very passionate about building in this space
- Experience with building API products a plus, but not required
- Experience working with blockchain or distributed systems a big plus
