- Expert craft and strong systems thinking across multiple systems or surfaces
- A track record of finding high-impact problems others miss and driving solutions end-to-end
- Experience setting ambitious but feasible milestones and sequencing work to deliver value early
- Hands-on proficiency in at least one of Java, Go, Python, or TypeScript, you write and review code daily
- Experience building tools or shared systems that make a whole team faster
