| The work you will be doing is somewhat unique and idiosyncratic. You probably have not had a similar role before. | ||
| - **In open-source, you're faced with a nonstop stream of bug reports and support requests**. That means you need to develop an intuition for when to ignore something, and when to dig in further. | ||

We can also be much simpler here! I removed the bold "titles" and just straight up added the required skills on Docs-infra role, as an example: https://mui.com/careers/react-engineer-docs-infra/#who-were-looking-for — that should be enough, I believe

Should we aim in consistency of how we present the roles? We have template for starting, although we may change something in a particular job ad, all other roles would still be created differently.
For example, I changed the writing around the products in https://github.com/mui/material-ui/pull/42189/files, when it gets approved, I will apply this on the template. I think this is the only way to keep it consistent (if that's our goal).

Yeah, definitely aim for consistency! We can keep updating the template as we see fit 👍

I don't know. More details look OK. And since it's more verbose, we need a bold part for the quick job post readers. So 👍 to keep this as is on my end.

I'd cut this one — it seems like too much of a practical guideline. If we'd like to keep it, I'd probably change to something along the lines of "You have a great sense of project management" because that's what it essentially is about: iterating fast, incrementally, with clear milestones

Seeing this in the job offer makes me feel a bit like it's helpful to differentiate Junior/Mid level to Senior. But if this role level is Staff, we need to emphasize on what sets Staff (and people on a growth trajectory to Staff) appart as we might see a lot of Senior level apply. So, agree, there could be an opportunity here.

I have tried this 🤷♂️:
- Leadership skills. You will help build the community and collaborate with it. You will guide and mentor contributors, steering the community in the right direction.

| We're looking for someone with strong core JavaScript skills. More important than specific technical skills though is that you're a strong problem solver who loves to learn. Details matter to you. | ||

Should we be more specific about, maybe, experience with bundlers and some of the concrete tasks we need for Pigment? I feel like the things included in "Expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem" are too broad.

True, though, I don't have ideas on my end on how to do this. Maybe @brijeshb42 would have.

Let me prepare a statement and share internally in the channel first.

Expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem
This is the one and most important requirement in my opinion for this role. I am open to suggestions

Do we also want to put in Rust, given Turbopack/SWC and now Rolldown are written in Rust.
Their core plugin authoring system will also be in Rust. The equivalent JS plugin authoring will support limited functionality.

- Expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem. Pigment CSS is built on the shoulders of giants, you need to use technologies such as TypeScript, Node.js, Babel, Rust, or SWC.
