• Incident Management: Serve as the first line of defense for off-hours incidents, employing software development knowledge to diagnose and think of ways to resolve issues

• Code Literacy: Familiarity with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, or Java, and the ability to use Git/GitHub to review code changes
• Attitude: An "adversarial" approach-the ability to stress-test and break code to ensure it is resilient

Nice to Have:
