- Collaboration and communication: You are comfortable working across functions to align on priorities and to explain technical tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical partners alike.
- Mentorship: You have an interest in helping new teammates onboard onto team systems, as well as helping engineers find their footing and grow.
