*** JH: I have put in both the Original JD we were sent and the Original Steyer Published JD. Ronak does have some changes he wants to the JD, but for the most part everything will be the same.

- experience with Github/ doesn’t have to be expert but wants them to have used it

- languages, more about writing samples

- fluent in writing code in 3 languages minimum. Java, C#, Rubi, Bison Ruby,

- Doesn’t need someone with 10+ years’ experience, more like 5+, said he would take someone straight out of college if they had the coding knowledge.
