3. Write detailed bug reports that include a complete characterization of the system at the time of failure, describing the impact on customers.
4. Collaborate with our Technical Support team to reproduce, debug, and resolve any issues reported by customers.
5. Have a strong passion for beautiful and intuitive user-interfaces (GUIs and APIs) that create a pleasurable user-experience (UX) for our customers.

Qualifications
