    Person will work alone once they get comfortable initially with the environment.
    Our company doesn’t write detailed specs…so this person will have to be comfortable tracking people down and understanding/gathering needs and then building out the solutions.

    The company is diverse in background and culture. Languages, dialects, backgrounds, etc.
    Their products are translated in 42 languages.

    Company typically doesn’t pursue candidates that have been contractors who have bounced around every 6-12 months…but may be a person who contracted long term.
    Quality and cultural fit are very important.

    The company puts a heavy emphasis on work-life balance…40hr work weeks…benefits and vacation are better than most companies. Work hard during work hours, but then go enjoy your life.

    Need strong initiative and self-direction, this role will not be micromanaged.
    Have IT mtgs (via web) twice week…outside of that each person needs to perform autonomously.
