Proficient in technologies relevant to our stack (e.g.,Java, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB AWS or similar cloud providers).

Has scaled platforms operationally, not just designed them on paper. You've watched performance regress under load, run incidents, and evolved architecture that was already in production.

Pragmatic about technology choices. You pick the right tool for the problem and can defend the tradeoff.

Communicates technical tradeoffs clearly to engineers, product, and business leaders.

Mentors and raises the engineering bar for the people around them.

Experience at a consumer, social, or marketplace company is a plus — those are the users we build for.
