What do we look for when adding to our team?

What matters is a developer's ability to understand the customer's requirements and translate them into code. Developers need to methodically work through large and often complex pieces of code, while not loosing site of the business problem.

Our team of developers consists of people with a variety of education and experience. There is no magical qualification or experience which says a developer is good. It comes down to a desire to help a customer out and an ability to think logically.
