## About the role

Wafer is a very small team growing extremely quickly. At our size, there are constantly important things that do not cleanly belong to any one function. Today, many of those things end up with the CEO.

## What they're looking for

- You are extremely high agency. When something is unclear, your instinct is to figure it out rather than wait for instructions
- You are unusually organized and detail-oriented. Things do not disappear when they are handed to you
- You have excellent judgment and know when to make a decision yourself versus pull someone else in
- You are comfortable switching between very different kinds of work in the same day
- You are scrappy. You solve problems with the minimum amount of process necessary
- You communicate extremely clearly and can represent Wafer well with customers, candidates, investors, and partners
