- The most important thing we look for is the ability to lead and encourage others; passionate about people - and keen to get to know your team and understand what motivates them.
- Good organisational skills and experience in steering the development of products from an initial concept on a whiteboard through to delivery will help you stand out.
- You should be able to discuss the benefits of key software practices like unit testing and good design, as well as the advantages of concepts such as Continuous Integration.
