Assessment Reasoning
NOT_FIT decision based on critical missing technical requirements. The candidate lacks Ruby on Rails experience (the primary requirement), has no evidence of hands-on coding in recent years, and missing experience with high-scale systems (3B+ requests/day). While leadership experience is strong, this role specifically requires a hands-on coding leader with Rails expertise, which this candidate does not demonstrate. The technical skill gap is too significant to overcome.
