* Excellent written and spoken English communication

* Ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and synthesize a wide variety of technologies across diverse customer environments.
* Be able to make recommendations and/or perform support or configuration given potentially less-than-adequate requirements (read: from an end user or non-technical user)

This is a great opportunity for candidates who are currently working on other projects and/or in other positions, but who still have reasonable part-time availability (potentially even up to 20 hours/week) to commit. Depending on growth, this could also evolve into one or more full-time positions moving forward.
