Exciting opportunity! Fastly has been doing some cool work recently. I'm curious if there's a preference for a particular programming language or tech stack?

I love Fastly's CDN service. Definitely check out their open-source project, Lucet, written in Rust! Senior Software Engineers here can get hands-on experience with new programming languages.
