• Familiarity with low-code tools and front-end web development. You’re familiar with tools such as Retool, Superblocks, and Glide, and how they’re used to build internal apps. Bonus: You’re also familiar with front-end web development frameworks such as react.js.

• Experience with both print and digital media formats. You’re also proficient in word processor programs such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs and PDF software such as Adobe Acrobat.
