We're less concerned with the resulting code than we are about your ability to explain the code that you wrote and your ability to prove to us that you have good judgement when making technical decisions.

Also, we're growing fast enough that we're rarely comparing candidates. If we can hire both the apple and the orange (assuming both candidates are evaluated to be good for the role), we will.

I'm actively looking/interviewing and really like the "cut of your jib". (both your answers here, plenty of aspects of Eaze as a company, the prospect of moving back to SF...)

For both the sr backend and devops positions, how important to the roles is familiarity/experience with your technical stack? I might have some of the skill set/experience you're looking for -- sr backend engineer, sr systems engineer, devops are all positions I've held -- but honestly I don't know JS, .NET, or Chef. Bluntly, I don't want to waste your (or my) time. ;)

Do you want to work for PlayStation Network team? We have plenty of open positions from DevOps to server or client side developers. And variety of work also there - commerce, social, video streaming, distributes databases, big data, ml.

You name it, we are doing it.

We care less about your particular technical skills than we do about your generalized engineering skills. Specific stacks are easy to teach; fundamentals, emotional intelligence, and social skills are harder to teach.

In fact, if someone is too into their stack, we see that as a bad sign.

So I'd be super excited if you decided to apply :)
