Experience with implementing sites with CMSes such as WebFlow or WordPress.
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think strategically.
Strong project management skills and the ability to self-manage and work independently.

Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical team members.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
A pragmatic approach to software development: working code now over perfect code later, iterative implementation and continuous improvement.
Passion for the music industry and a deep understanding of its unique challenges and opportunities is a bonus.
