## About you

- Strong CS fundamentals: data types, algorithms, CPU/memory management, networking, internet architecture.
- Experience with observability systems for microservice architectures: structured logging, tracing, custom metrics.
- Design-driven: form a plan of attack and articulate it on paper before coding.
- Comfortable with Postgres-flavor databases (indices, constraints, relational design; avoid stored procedures).
- More comfortable on the command-line than in UIs.
- Clear and concise communication with both technical and non-technical peers.
- Idealistic but practical mindset.
