• experience with Functional Programming (E.g. OCaml, Erlang),

• has worked on 2+ large scale commercial projects taken from inception to production,

• experience with dynamically typed systems (e.g. Javascript, Erlang; Python is a must),

• our architecture is microservice-oriented using AMQP,

• we deploy multiple times a day on AWS and use Docker Swarm, MySQL, Redis, Node, etc.,

• we strive to be agile (who doesn’t?), but we're not religious about Scrum, Kanban or any other methodology.
