Who You Might Be

It is hard to set expectations with respect to soft skills, as everybody may contribute in their own special way.

Product-driven. You might feel your professional interests revolve around building complex systems thanks to advanced design patterns. We rather feel strongly about achieving product goals. This might involve taking pragmatic shortcuts, and even possibly writing some inelegant code along the way. That is just fine sometimes – as long as we factor in debt.

Socially open. We are neither the nerdy types nor some cold-blooded serial coders. We often build software making creative (and possibly weird) analogies with music, philosophy or football, and come up with solutions outside of the strict confines of our desks.

Taking responsibility for making things happen. This is about self-motivation, being forward thinking and embracing accountability for pushing the Product into the right direction.

Humble. Everybody knows very little. However, we can get really good in certain areas: we believe in the so-called growth mindset, meaning everybody can learn pretty much everything. This makes us nonetheless humble in our attitude with others.

Curious. We spend a lot of time at the office around our fellow co-workers. We like to share our passions (travel, food, books, sports, etc. etc.) and interact beyond tech.

As a global organization, Datasite knows that diverse perspectives are essential to our success. We’re committed to maintaining a diverse workforce to serve our customers around the world. Datasite is an equal opportunity employer (EEO) and furthers the principles of EEO through Affirmative Action.
