You should have full knowledge of the software development life cycle and should know how to make rough estimates quickly based on business requirements, and make detailed estimates after technical design is complete.

You can compose technical specifications and architecture as well as review the specs of others and provide useful feedback. You have a passion to see code that is maintainable, readable, minimal, correct, documented, modular, and good looking. You know what good practices are in software development, especially when working as part of a team.
