If you have experience writing these systems in Python/Go/Java that’s cool too, as long as you’re willing to learn Typescript/Node — the learning curve on writing TS isn’t that high for high-caliber engineers. Experience or working knowledge of React is great too, but we can teach you that if we need to
Has a product and customer-focused mindset
Has experience being burned by deployment and maintenance issues. If you have a a strong opinion on how backend systems should be built, that’s good
Values writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation (e.g. the code needs to be correct and run fast, but we’re the ones that have to read it and understand it)
Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points
Have started a company before
Enjoy attending hackathons
Worked at an early-stage (Series A or earlier) startup previously
Have not wasted hours interview-prepping on Leetcode
