- Demonstrated track record of being able to balance making the right architectural decisions while moving fast do deliver customer value; can show examples of prior architectures built, articulate the tradeoffs and reasons for them
- Solid core programming skills in a couple of languages (JS, PHP preferred, but not required)
- Understanding of modern AWS tools, and ability to use them to solve common technology problems
