* Mobile device development (Windows Mobile, CF.NET)

* Experience in Agile environments
Personal Traits:
Since this is a work-at-home position, you'll be expected to be able work independently and unsupervised, but with clear goals and direction. We're results-oriented and we don't micromanage. You should have:
* Solid interpersonal, organizational and time-management skills
* A track record of providing reasonable estimates and sticking to them
* Insatiable curiosity, a love of learning and a desire to continuously improve
* Fanatical attention to detail
