using user-centered design principals to design

specifications. You will have an opportunity to

each of us is in charge of our own domain
expertise (we don’t micromanage!), so we
respect assertiveness, opinions, and people who
can get things done the best way
possible. Also, we’re located right across

so getting to and from the office is a breeze.
