In your first 90 days, you can expect to have shipped several small features and bugfixes, participated in code review, design discussions, and start to feel more comfortable owning a bigger feature from design to completion.

• You are comfortable working in a distributed environment, using written-communication to work with colleagues in other timezones
• You are kind
• Your are comfortable learning to work in a Rails codebase with a large MySQL cluster and data pipeline
• You have an interest or expertise in package managers, and their inner workings
