Note, we are looking for engineers, not hackers. We despise hacks, we love excellent engineering. Before applying, we urge you to review the 14 Rules of Management by the legendary American aeronautical engineer, Kelly Johnson, the Chief Engineer of the fabulous Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird - you can't hack up such an airplane. It must be "engineered"!
Note that great engineering doesn't mean slowness. Kelly Johnson's team created the first operational jet fighter, the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, for the United States Army Air Forces in 143 days in 1943! They had only slide-rules back then!
True fast development comes from excellent engineering, not coffee + all night hackathon.
