The keys to being good at this job

1. Curious. All ideas come from somewhere. If you’re not feeding yourself with good inputs, then the work will never be as good as it could have been.

2. Super fun. We spend a lot of time working. Let’s not make all that time suck.

3. Self-motivated. We are small and growing, not big and bureaucratic. There will be plenty of times when you just need to figure things out.

4. Ambition. We want people who think they can change the world.

5. Writing skills. Part of your job is the communication of ideas, and that often takes a good writer.
