Build the skill rubric for engineer hiring at HackerRank

On HN

At HackerRank, our mission is to match every developer to the right job, on skills vs pedigree. We have thousands of customers ranging from fast-growing startups Uber, AirBnB to large established companies like Goldman Sachs, Ford, VMWare, (yes every company is becoming a s/w company) and a developer community of 4m+ developers.

Our strategy is simple -- understand the DNA that makes a job, DNA of a developer and predict fit. In order to determine the DNA of a job (what skills contribute to success), the method of evaluating a skill needs to be strong.

That's where you come in: > Building a skill rubric for various tuples (role, seniority) > Generating relevant challenges for the (role, seniority) > Ensuring they are high-quality & written crisply to gain developer love
