- Effective debugging: you find root causes rather than patching symptoms.
- Disciplined coding habits and awareness of industry best practices.
- Very good interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to collaborate inside a group of senior developers.

- Experience with performance analysis tools (Unity Profiler, Xcode Instruments, Android Studio Profiler).
