• You’re comfortable being hands-on in a full-stack context, through code contributions or reviews.

  • Collaborating with cross-functional counterparts: PM, Product Designer, Customer Success.
  • Supporting and coaching your IC direct reports, and giving them regular feedback to help them grow in alignment with wider company goals.
