Engineers on our team today:
- Work primarily in JavaScript, and dabble in Shell/Python as necessary
- Build APIs in Node.js
- Are extremely supportive, especially when teammates are faced with new challenges
- Leave no opportunity to sneak jokes into the source code
- Are left to autonomously figure out solutions to their challenges
- Think hard about every problem and its solution from user’s perspective
- Value clear and frequent communication (we do a lot of reading and writing)
- Enjoy being a generalist and are not tied down to a specific framework or surface area of our codebase
- Are naturally curious and willing to learn something they don’t have experience in
- Feel a great sense of accountability to each other
- Have good judgement of when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good
- Have a fundamental understanding of Linux/Docker/networking
