You have worked with scaling challenges in previous roles and have implemented best practices around scaling.
You’re a systems thinker, concerned not only with individual component parts but with how those parts work together holistically.
You’re pragmatic, recognizing that, while there are multiple approaches to solving a problem, it is important to weigh practicality over theory when decision-making.
You possess a clear and engaging communication style with a track record of building positive relationships across a broad diverse organization with engineers as well as non-technical stakeholders.
