- Architectural Depth: Advanced database design skills and a demonstrated ability to ship high-quality, scalable products
- Modern Infrastructure: Practical experience using Docker and cloud technologies, specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Elite Communication: 'Class-A' communication skills—curious, thoughtful, clear, and (mostly) correct—with a passion for building consensus and credibility within a diverse team
- Operational Excellence: A self-motivated, collaborative, and diligent work ethic, with a high degree of comfort in navigating ambiguity
- Ownership Mentality: An eagerness to embrace accountability and take full ownership of technical outcomes
