Computers are your hobby and you cannot imagine life without them. Ideally you also have a soft spot for PC games since your childhood and have fond memories of your (numerous!) sleepless nights playing them in a dark room as a kid.

• Solid written & spoken English skills.
• Ability to set priorities in order to meet deadlines.
• Ability to be the calm within the storm.
