Installation and Integration Experience: Demonstrated experience managing smart home installations with vendors and system integrators, from initial planning and equipment selection through implementation, testing, and handover.

AI-Assisted Development: Practical experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, or Replit to build prototypes, create integrations, automate workflows, or develop internal tools.

No-Code and Workflow Automation: Familiarity with no-code platforms and automation tools such as Zapier, Make, and Airtable, with the ability to identify repetitive processes and build efficient solutions.

Demonstrable Technical Projects: Ability to showcase examples of smart home integrations, prototypes, automations, or internal tools you have developed. Candidates should be prepared to share relevant projects as part of their application.

Building Systems Knowledge: Understanding of how smart home technologies interact with residential infrastructure, building systems, connectivity, and construction requirements.

Wellness Technology Interest: A strong interest in wellness-oriented residential technology, including indoor air and water quality, circadian lighting, energy management, and low-EMF design, is a significant advantage.

Project Management Skills: Strong organizational and coordination abilities, with experience managing budgets, schedules, vendor relationships, deliverables, and multiple project priorities.

Problem-Solving and Initiative: A practical, experimental mindset with the ability to troubleshoot technical challenges, test new ideas, work through ambiguity, and turn concepts into functioning systems without requiring close supervision.

Communication and Collaboration: Clear and proactive written and spoken English communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across technical and non-technical stakeholders in a remote, multicultural environment.

Autonomy and Adaptability: Comfortable working independently, managing changing priorities, and taking ownership of outcomes in a fast-moving, internationally distributed team.
