  • Strong written and verbal communication in English, especially in remote and asynchronous environments
  • High degree of autonomy, accountability, and follow-through
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools effectively is a plus

Benefits:

  • Flexible schedule -- we care about output, not hours. Work when you do your best work, within reasonable overlap with US time zones.
