What we look for in our team members? While there is no stencil for the type of people we like, there are a few traits that might make Reo.Dev a better fit for you. Reo might be a good fit if you…

• work hard and want to grow really fast
• care about your work a great deal… find it highly unsettling if the quality of work is even slightly sub-par
• execute fast
• are hands on (we will not have elaborate reporting structures for the foreseeable future and hopefully ever)
• are someone people like to work with… low on ego, high on humility
• have the ability to fail, learn and keep trying till you win… start-ups are tough and we will not get everything right the first time
• have a longish view of your career growth and not optimizing for the next 1-2 years
