What they look for

Most Postings ask people to use generative AI tools with human oversight. Two senior engineering roles ask for 5+ years building highly available, distributed systems. One names Go, Java, C++, or Rust and says the team works mostly in Go. A full-stack role asks for React and TypeScript with Go. Product managers need 5+ years, SQL, and skill with A/B tests, which compare two versions of a feature. Product designers need 5+ years of shipping consumer products at scale and a portfolio. Support roles ask for 3+ years in support, basic crypto knowledge, and five days a week in the office, with night and weekend work. Legal roles ask for a J.D. and bar membership. Internships ask for a current degree and project work. A candidate can send at most 3 applications in 6 months.
