## What they're looking for

- Comfortable adopting new tools as needed (we use Elixir/Erlang, Phoenix, Postgres and AWS in the backend)
- Experience with client-side data loading and management: caching, freshness, ownership, and how to optimize push updates
- Understanding of the browser rendering cycle, how and when the DOM decides what to repaint, and the instinct to profile and optimize for a responsive, data-dense interface
