I'm actively looking/interviewing and really like the "cut of your jib". (both your answers here, plenty of aspects of Eaze as a company, the prospect of moving back to SF...)

For both the sr backend and devops positions, how important to the roles is familiarity/experience with your technical stack? I might have some of the skill set/experience you're looking for -- sr backend engineer, sr systems engineer, devops are all positions I've held -- but honestly I don't know JS, .NET, or Chef. Bluntly, I don't want to waste your (or my) time. ;)

<tiny>Also, I wish HN supported private replies</>

Do you want to work for PlayStation Network team? We have plenty of open positions from DevOps to server or client side developers. And variety of work also there - commerce, social, video streaming, distributes databases, big data, ml.

You name it, we are doing it.

Maybe? Sounds cool! Can you send me a very very short email (my email is on my HN profile page) as a point of contact for further communication?

We care less about your particular technical skills than we do about your generalized engineering skills. Specific stacks are easy to teach; fundamentals, emotional intelligence, and social skills are harder to teach.

In fact, if someone is too into their stack, we see that as a bad sign.

So I'd be super excited if you decided to apply :)
