- Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ambiguous ideas into simple, high-quality experiences.

- Care for craft beyond the first 80%, including performance, accessibility, reliability, and visual polish.
- A systems-first mindset and interest in building durable patterns that help the whole team move faster.

## Bonus Points

- Comfort using design tools like Figma, Paper, or similar tools to explore and communicate ideas.
