Soft Skills

Team. As a developer on our CRO Team, you will work with CRO Graphic Designers, User Experience Designers, Copywriters, and Strategists. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between graphical design, strategy and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the experiment looks as well as how it works to ensure all elements of web creation are consistent. This is an important aspect of your job that requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Discipline. You won’t have someone watching over your shoulder on a day-to-day basis to make sure the work is getting done. We are strong believers in trust and autonomy. We must be confident that you will deliver the work in time even if you have a poor internet connection on your favorite beach spot or if your beer has spilt on your laptop when reaching out for your nachos.

Communication. Communication between the team members is key for a successful project and overall working relationship. You’ll be working with CRO strategists, writers and designers so if you have a solution to a problem, we’ll be happy to hear what you have for us!
