You’ve worked without heavy process and know how to keep things moving without it • Passion for education and desire to make a positive impact Nice to Haves • Familiarity with Ruby on Rails or Django codebases, the stacks we run • Experience with Capybara, RSpec, or comparable testing tools • Experience working with product managers and non-technical stakeholders • Experience as the first project manager or QA hire on a team Compensation CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position’s level, no matter where you live.
