    • You have worked on large-scale complex algorithm problems, and know how to balance correctness and performance.
    • You know how to choose the right storage technology for the job. You have experience with a wide-range of databases, including relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL), non-relational (BigTable, Cassandra, Redis, etc), and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc).
