## What they're looking for

- You've debugged problems in code you didn't write and systems you didn't design
- You're comfortable making engineering decisions with incomplete requirements and revisiting them when reality disagrees
- You can explain technical tradeoffs to people who aren't software engineers (operators, hardware engineers, customers)
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
