CALL NOTES:

• Language java is primary - should be flexible to switch between languages
• Frontend Vue is where they are going familiarity with one is sufficient
• Elastic more around troubleshooting familiar with it some data analysis skills, all their data is going into elastic, more of a reporting tool. If they have a release, they want them to go in and look at data more around debugging, logging in and checking the data, visualize and make a judgment call as to what is happening, specific to what - iOS or a browser?
• Anything they build they make sure they are integrating with elastic, they want to make sure they are sending data to elastic, all dashboards and metrics are being derived from them

• Split backend primarily but ability to take up front end
• Need someone where he can place anywhere take ownership
• Need to own the product ability to navigate more BE
• Deployments they don t have to be in charge of containerization they have an engineer who does this part but should know since small team.

• Most of their Sr. engineers are like 25+ years
