What We're Looking For:

• We expect you to either have experience or being able to design complex distributed and concurrent systems; being able to reason about game-theoretic concepts, incentives, and adversarial scenarios;
• While you should have a zeal for technical excellence, you should be very comfortable with balancing degrees of risk and business needs;
• You should be a great communicator and remain calm under pressure or when juggling multiple priorities;
