Expectations

- Prefers simplicity and likes to take a lean and iterative approach to solving problems.
- Loves to reflect on challenges and improve process and tooling iteratively.
- Cares about solving big, systemic problems. You look beyond the surface to identify and understand root causes and seek to resolve those instead of only addressing the symptoms.
- Exhibits strong attention to detail and sweats the small things
