Requirements

Have several years of experience building websites. Apps are good, but websites are important. You should also know the difference!
Have significant experience in JavaScript and/or Python. You’re able to explain and talk through the changes coming along in ECMAScript but don’t mind writing jQuery when you need to fix something. Alternatively (or additionally!), you can talk about pip and tell someone why they “really should be using a virtual env.”
Have experience with scaling web content—you know when to use the CDN vs. a cache, you know where that cache should live, and you know key-value stores and load balancers
Have strong Git skills—you know when and where to rebase and understand the value of branching
Have experience with continuous integration (Jenkins, Travis CI, etc.)
Have significant experience with the command line
Have an interest in Slate/the news/publishing content that lots of users see
Have empathy (especially for users of websites and software)
