At Lever, we write about what skills we are hiring for in a very different way we call an Impact Description. It outlines the role in terms of our expectations for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months into the job.

I manage the Google Container Engine and Kubernetes team in Seattle (we have other sites in Mountain View and Warsaw). Aside from the obvious interest in building container orchestration systems, I look for a passion to solve real user problems, not only building a piece of tech. Bonus points for knowing about Docker or containers or clouds or Golang or security. More points for meeting users where they are. And the…
Wow, working with Google would be a dream come true for me. However, most of my experience is with Amazon ECS and Docker, tried a bit of Mesos.
Apply and make your dream come true!
If you have that, breadth in projects and technology and you are genuinely excited by the opportunity I have on offer then I have found that a good mix.
It's not so much specific tech skills as attitude. We're strong on pragmatism with a touch of pride in doing it right. Pragmatism without that pride in quality leads to hacks that are unmaintainable - obsession over perfect without pragmatism leads to never delivering.
Intelligence. Tenacity. Ambition. Judgement. Bonus points for recognizing the bullshit parade that is the current startup world. e.g.: NodeJS has value, but it's mostly the same wheel we've had for 20+ years. Or that MongoDB's changelog has consisted of standard SQL features for the past five years and that pgsql would have been just fine (had people read some boyce-codd anyhow).
* It has a revolutionary module system (Common JS) witch allows less coupling, more code reuse and better abstractions.

Not op, but: IMO somewhat uninformed opinion (longtime dev on two of the biggest platforms, played a bit with node etc a few times) the Javascript ecosystem has seems to have numerous issues. Here is my impression: - being equally bad or worse than php in a number of ways (I used to write php, the right way ; ) -to: having bad dependency management -to: the complete ecosystem being in a churn, always. Like if php con…
Node.js is great, but the ecosystem needs to be run by people with an attention span that's longer than 5min I use node.js, but doing things the "node.js" way is just crazy. You don't make a higher level project depend on a package manager
On the frontend side of things I'm looking less for specific framework experience and more for overall programming competency. JavaScript development moves so fast now that it really doesn't make sense to scope your hiring to angular, react, etc.
It doesn't make sense to scope to specific languages, but even fewer people seem to get that.
But it is really sad that people mostly hunt for keywords in resume.
I am 100% owner of an internet company making 7 figure profits annually. I am extremely secretive of my business, almost to the point that some would consider a pathology. However, I will divulge my hiring strategy, because even if everyone uses my method, there will still be many employees for me to choose from. I look to hire people who just need a job. People who are qualified, but not overly qualified. People I k…
I thought you had 100% retention rate?
