Here's a little more about what I'm looking for. I learn very fast, am comfortable wearing multiple hats, enjoy being given the opportunity to add to my skill sets on the job, and strive to be my own best tester.

Project - Requirements
	The focus is on developing and maintaining an exciting product, rather than reviving a legacy application
	My duties will *regularly* involve work in Machine Learning and/or Big Data, now or in the next 18 months
	I will be in a back-end or full-stack role, with the understanding that my experience and interest is largely back-end
	My commute is 25 minutes or less
	Salaried Role 85-90k with benefits and 3 weeks PTO
	Team is okay with me taking the week of April 2 off (taking a trip with my mother she has been waiting on for 40 years)
Allowed to work remotely at least two half days a week
Allowed to have a mobile workstation (disability accommodation)

Technologies and Practices - Requirements
	Either Java 8 or Scala are the 'main' languages - Python or Ruby also acceptable, but I am rusty in Python and would start nearly from scratch in Ruby
	Unit / Integration testing, as well as Test Automation, are taken seriously
	Source Version Control, preferably Git / GitHub / GitLab
	Dependency Management, e.g. Maven / Ivy / Gradle
	Top Quality IDE e.g. IDEA, PyCharm, RubyMine
	Established, rigorous code review process / code quality standards
	Digital Kanban tool, preferably JIRA

	- Nice to Have's

	Artifact Management e.g. Artifactory
	Continuous Integration e.g. TeamCity, Jenkins
	Static Code Analysis tools and metrics
	Located in Durham

Team / Culture - Requirements
	Leadership works with developers and teams to prioritize and create clear roadmaps
	Experienced and committed to one or more Agile methodologies
	I have the opportunities to become essential to my team and company
	The team dares to innovate and create original ideas or approaches to problems, and these are listened to
	We are trusted to be professional and work to the best of our ability - little to no micro-managing
	We are free to listen for current client needs but also to envision the future, to prevent future rework
	Mutual Learning Environment where we are excited to share expertise
	Work-life balance is a must (not considered an underachiever if I have 40 hr work weeks)
	Teams maintain professional standards and close-knit cooperation under pressure, rather than falling apart and reverting to bad habits
	Developers show personal interest in what they do, it's not just a way to get a paycheck
	Teammates strive to improve and grow, both on and off the job, and don't simply 'coast'

	- Nice to Have's

	Test-infected team that leverages TDD
	The company supports and invests in professional development (conferences, opportunities to grow on the job)


I realize it's a tall order to check every box here, but I have seen these opportunities, and it's why I generally prefer to take my time looking for the kinds of opportunities and companies that do fit. Please let me know if I can elaborate on anything or do anything else to help.
