You should be someone who cannot sit still and do things "normally". Your mind should be racing with ideas on how to make the world a better place. When someone tells you to do something, you do not simply do it. You ask "why?".
We do not care about education or background.
You should prefer building in-house tools over signing corporate contracts.
