- Exceptional design, debugging, and problem solving skills.
- Knowledge of UNIX operating systems (we use Linux), system/processor performance, and network communication.
- Ability to describe software designs at a high level (the abstract interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm), and anywhere in between.
- Previous experience with design and implementation of distributed systems is preferred.
- You can look at code, figure out how it works, and how to make it better.
- You are capable of working independently as well as part of a team.
