Any additional minor responsibilities necessary to build a great product in a small team.

What you’ll bring

Strong coding skills, with an emphasis on the ability to build understandable and maintainable software while collaborating with others.
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, evident in the quality of technical specifications, discourse, and quality of feedback.
Empathy for your teammates and end users, reflected in how usable your product is, how you write your code, and how you work with others.
Enthusiasm to learn and expand your knowledge!
Bonus: An understanding of building software outside the web sandbox. Insomnia frequently requires engineering for specific platforms. E.g. Electron.
