Dev team manger here and a cofounder of 100% remote team. What I am looking for in candidates. Tech aspects: some experience in the area we hire for. But most important soft skills: Honesty, being humble handle criticism and lear, be able to clearly communicate which includes neat emails, be open to new ideas (don’t be stubborn), and most important- great communication (let me know you receive my email, confirm you are working on it, say thank you for interview, send me email that the problem is hard you need more time, keep me updated before I ask you for an update, keep Slack on your phone and check it time to time). Our startup is 2 years old and the only reasons why we had to stop working with any developer were problems with communication.
