Q/A

The role looks like a combination of a full stack developer & Linux administration?

- They won't need to be Linux admins, they should have general knowledge of administration skills so that when clusters are deployed, they can debug

For front end technologies mentioned, Angular & React, is one used more than the other?

- They're used 50/50

- Ansible skills will also be preferred as the process will need to be automated

What is the primary language on the backend?

- Node & then Postgres is used to enter the data into the database

- RDBMS skills will be major help; they don't need to start anything from scratch we already have an application it's already developed but we have few backlog tasks and support

- we want the person to be helpful in coding and in supporting the whole thing
