• A degree in software engineering or equivalent job experience.
• A flexible working style. We are a small team, and everybody pitches in, sometimes in unexpected ways.
• A passion for working with end users (the content team), understanding and improving their processes.
• Proficiency in C# programming.
• Experience with Perforce or another version control system.

Preferred/Desired:

• Experience with C++.
