3. Communication — Easy to talk to, take feedback without defensiveness, and discuss assumptions explicitly
4. Genuine enthusiasm — Show real interest in hard problems, not just getting a job
5. Learning agility — Willing to pick up Scala, work with legacy code, and adapt quickly

• Can discuss trade-offs in system design
• Understands low-level details when relevant
• Knows how to apply complexity analysis to real problems
• Language flexibility (Java proficiency required; Scala/Go/Kotlin are bonuses, not must-haves)
