Role Competencies
- Detail-Oriented
- Our team produces the highest-quality themes & experiences in our niche. Our big-picture goal is to continually improve that level of quality through unparallelled attention to detail.
- You should have experience completing complex projects while on a pressing deadline. You should also have experience explaining these complexities to others without jargon.
- Forward-Thinking
- Once Coupled team members need to be one step ahead of the situation at all times. For example, when creating functionality, how can it be written in an easily adaptable way to fit unstated needs of current & future clients?
- You should have experience creating simple solutions to complex problems, ranging from project-specific hurdles to company-wide growth initiatives, ideally providing the solution before the problem presents itself.
- Helpful, Thoughtful
- We work in the best interest of our team & clients. Each team member is expected to support fellow coworkers and go above and beyond for clients.
- You should have experience communicating with others in a confident, compassionate, and clear style. You should take responsibility for your own actions and assume oversights by others are due to your own mistakes.
- Self-Starter
- All team members experience a high level of autonomy and should thrive in this situation. Examples include self-teaching new skills, taking on creative initiatives, and vocalizing/acting on process improvements.
- You should have experience learning new programming languages, developing new skills, and working within a small team of self-directed individuals with little operational oversight.
