ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

1. Personality Traits

In addition to your skill sets, we place equal value on the personality of our teaUpgrade to see actual infombers.

We consider a "Rock Star" as someone who is proactive, takes initiative, and isn't afraid to share their opinions (even if it may be uncomfortable to do so).

You'll have plenty of support (e.g. tools, resources, infrastructure, project management, and more...), but you must have the mindset that you "own" your projects. If you're the type of person who waits to be told what to do at every step throughout a project, then this position isn't right for you.

You'll also be provided with very clear project instructions and requirements, but you must also be able to work independently, figure things out for yourself, do your own research when necessary, and adopt an attitude of "I'm going to do whatever it takes to get the job done!"

For example:

- Being proactive in providing feedback, insights, and ideas to help us be the best company we can be.
- Being proactive in recommending tools, resources, and education to help you be the best contributor you can be.
- Thinking outside-the-box to provide fresh and creative ideas to the team.
- Whatever it takes to ensure your success and our success!

Finally, you must have a natural curiosity and passion for learning new technology, not just for the sake of the technology itself, but in how technology can be used to maximize the potential of the given project.

If this describes you - and you possess the skill sets we are seeking - then we'd love to have you on board with us!

2. Work Environment

- You must live in the Philippines (please do not apply if this is not the case as we will not reply)
- Your own computer and Internet connection (this is a home-based position).
- You are willing to work during U.S. business hours. (Mountain Time)

Guaranteed 100% On-Time Salary Payments
