When you guys say "Extraordinary software engineering talent", are you talking someone whose level is 1 out of 10 developers or more like 1 out of 100?
"1 out of 100" wouldn't tell me much because I have no idea what a representative sample of developers looks like. Maybe it would be more clear to anchor to some skill level that people can roughly understand, e.g. "ThoughtWorks", "Google" or "quant finance". Such a scale also has the bonus of setting salary expectations appropriately :-)
We're looking for software engineering skills that would place in the top quartile of MIT CS students or Google employees.
