  • Experience with TDD and testable code - unit / integration / performance testing
  • Great verbal and written communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas in a simple way to non-engineering teammates

  • Practical experience with building scalable & highly reliable cloud systems that support product used by millions of users around the world 24/7
  • Familiarity with modern JS frameworks
