• Leverage your knowledge of the product and expertise to derive an optimal solution.
• Apply your expertise to provide estimates to the clients.
• Translate customer’s business requirements into clearly defined tasks.
• Communicate design choices and clearly explain impact of design choices in business terms to customer.

Here’s how your intelligence, dedication, and drive come into play:

• Clear communication is your biggest advantage and your best tool, be it in client meetings, developer requirements meetings, Agile Scrums, reports, presentations, or documentation.
• You understand that communication is a two-way street – your listening skills are incomparable.
• You are truly, and deeply in love with technology. You have spot-on problem-solving instincts and you continue to learn new technologies at super speed.
• You are multilingual – C#, .Net, Javascript, CSS, HTML
•  You are Agile and so is your preferred development environment.
•  Topography is a bit of a hobby for you, which will come in handy in this role as you will need to rapidly cover the technology landscape we work with.
