* Willingness to collaborate closely with team members, roll up your sleeves, and ensure tasks are completed efficiently.

* A solid sense of responsibility, demonstrating the ability to drive projects from inception to successful completion.

* An affinity for solving complex problems and shipping impactful features, prioritizing results over overly polished code or architecture.

* Experience working in a collaborative coding environment, including refining designs, participating in code reviews, and managing pull requests.

**Nice to Have**

* Interest in personal finance.

* Experience managing personal investments or experience with financial products like loans.
