None of us are ever ready and we don’t intend for this post to be a shopping list for a nonexistent unicorn, but as more of an overview of the kind of things we are interested in. Come talk with us and let’s find out if we are a match.

Please note that our recruitment team is currently on summer holiday, so the recruitment process will take longer than usual. We look forward to reading your application after the holidays and will get back to all candidates once we return to work closer to fall.
