- Ability to hold in-depth technical conversations across infrastructure, backend, and frontend engineering.
- Enjoyment of management challenges, including coaching, difficult feedback, and team development.

- Excellent, empathetic communication skills.

- Ability to think about product, business, and design while empowering teams to make decisions.
- Comfort working in high-trust, high-autonomy startup environments.
- Willingness to code and stay current with technology.
