The team has had very low attrition since its inception a few years ago, and we're recruiting mostly due to expansion. This isn't just your next job, it's a real career path with excellent prospects in a very democratic team where most decisions are made by the developers rather than decided by management.

The skills and technologies required below are a reflection of what we do today and will evolve over time. We're not expecting you to have mastered each of these before applying - what you don't know we can help you learn, and there is nobody in the team that has mastered all of what we use today.
