Hot Tip

“More than ever, good engineering means more than good coding. A candidate’s breadth of understanding (eg. devops, data science, etc.), and appreciation for simplicity and scale is just as important. Additionally, what a candidate can contribute to our culture, and what they understand about our business weigh just as heavily.”
