What a strong candidate looks like

You have shipped a Drupal 9 or 10 site with a custom theme, custom modules, and a content migration from a legacy system. You have worked with a React or VueJS front-end running alongside Drupal, not inside it. You have led or technically mentored at least two other engineers on a multi-month project. You have used AI coding tools enough to have a genuine opinion on where they save time and where they cause problems.
