Nice to haves:

• Because we develop programming technology for a variety of purposes, competence in a breadth of programming paradigms is a plus, such as imperative and functional programming, formal specifications, and assembly code;
• Experience with runtime system, such as memory management and concurrent task scheduling, and in newer languages like Go, Rust, Scala, and Swift;
