As an individual you'll be articulate, analytically minded and strong on concepts. As a senior engineer you'll bring expertise developing in a range of languages which may include Python, Golang, C# and others.

You will also:

 * Understand each of the typical pieces that fit into a modern technology stack for the cloud.

Any additional experience with ElasticSearch and/or large scale analytics would be beneficial.
