These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for.

• A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning

• An understanding that quality is everyone's responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code
• Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
• A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
• A DevOps mentality - meaning that you don't want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer
