  • You’ve contributed to the success of complex technical projects and are eager to take ownership in a collaborative environment.
  • You enjoy mentoring teammates, learning continuously, and improving team practices and code quality.
  • You are comfortable navigating trade-offs in performance, simplicity, and technical debt, and can articulate your decisions.
