## What they're looking for

- You're a builder at heart. You'd be building software even if nobody paid you. You have side projects, open source contributions, or a startup in your past (or future)
- You think like a product person. You don't just ask "how should I build this?" — you ask "should we build this at all?" and "what would make this 10x better for the user?"
- You have taste. You care about the details — the animation speed, the error message copy, the API naming convention. Craft matters
- You move fast. You bias toward action. Ship MVPs, get feedback, iterate. You'd rather have something in front of users in a week than a perfect spec in a month
- You're comfortable with ambiguity. We won't hand you a fully-specced PRD. You'll figure out what the right thing to build is, often with incomplete information
- You use AI as a multiplier. You're fluent with AI-assisted development tools and understand how to use LLMs to accelerate your workflow — from code generation to prototyping to analysis
