Pick your own development environment and tools. Mac/PC/Linux, we’re easy
Although we don’t consciously follow any development methodology Agile probably best describes how we work. Prototyping over fat functional specs, write elegant readable code rather than documentation, iterate until it’s right, regular involvement from stake holders

Freedom and encouragement to explore new technologies
About you
You have a genuine passion programming
You must be a self starter and be able to work independently. You’ll receive guidance and direction but then be expected to grasp concepts and requirements quickly and get on with it
