- Instrument and improve performance, reliability, and observability; write clear tests and documentation
- Hands-on experience building software (courses, personal projects, research, or internships) in one or more languages such as TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Rust, Java, C/C++; you write clear, tested code
- Solid CS fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, systems thinking) and familiarity with Git and basic debugging
- Ability to make informed trade-offs with business context; high agency and a team-first mindset
- Curiosity about DeFi/crypto (prior domain experience not required)
