The Boxed DevOps team values an always-learning approach to technology. We want people who already know they don’t know it all and who are willing to work closely and honestly with team members to collectively and objectively find the best solutions to problems. Technological humility - the desire to build what’s correct over being the person who’s correct - is a trait we value highly.
