   and engage both internal and external customers.

   interfaces to third-party XML business integration feeds.

   to achieve the best blend of error prevention and error detection possible.

   exacting manner.
   -

   Effectively able to handle multiple priorities and manage time
   efficiently to deliver projects of varying size.
   -

   Must have excellent communication skills both written and oral. Active
   listening is key as we seek to understand others’ views.


For bonus points:

   -

   Experience with Agile software development practices (e.g. Scrum,
   Lean/Kanban).


   -

   Experience with Template Toolkit.
   -

   Ability to train/mentor junior developers.
   -

   Experience developing automated functional and performance testing suites
   -

   Linux knowledge.
