What they look for

Engineering roles name many languages, and Python appears most often. Senior roles ask for five or more years, and the machine learning role asks for six. The Canvas engineering role asks for three years and hands-on use of Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or other LLM agent tools in engineering work. Foundry roles ask for a record of shipping real products.

Sales roles ask for two to five or more years of sales, often in education technology or SaaS. Many ask for travel, up to 50 percent for some roles. Some roles in Europe need a second language, such as Dutch, Spanish, Italian, or German.
