4+ years of experience in roles of comparable seniority (Principal, Director, etc.) with a proven track record of proposing and executing strategic infrastructure work.
Ability to root cause sources of instability of high-traffic, distributed systems.
Skilled at managing complex solutions and delivering in pragmatic ways.
Deep experience working with Linux and web technologies.

Advanced programming experience, preferably in a high-level language like Perl or Python.
