Is production ruby/rails experience really a hard requirement for your backend positions? Do you see on-the-job learning as ineffective?

I've been looking over GitLab's jobs for at least a year, but nothing for the Python programmer in sight...

Not a Gitlabber, but more info on that: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/...

Thanks for posting that. Ruby or Go experience is required for backend positions.

I know when I interviewed 3 years ago, they wanted k8s experience as well.

I found out that too was a hard requirement at the time, but only at the 3rd interview.

Then again, it HAS been 3 years. Lots of things change, esp in tech.
