Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field; Currently pursuing is also an option

• Working knowledge of databases — has written real SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY) or used an ORM in production code; understands the difference between SQL and NoSQL at a basic level.
• Solid understanding of data structures and algorithms — arrays, hash maps, trees, basic Big-O analysis — sufficient to discuss simple coding problems and reason about correctness.
