- Ability to understand and work with legacy enterprise languages.
- Strong coding skills with a focus on clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
- Effective communicator and team collaborator.

- Experience with OCaml, TypeScript, or other statically typed languages with type inference.
- Understanding of legacy enterprise languages (COBOL, Fortran, etc.) is valuable in transpiler or modernization work.
