* A smart, results-oriented individual with a mix of passion for solid application architecture, hands-on coding, and project management, who also has the soft skills of building relationships and consensus. * An individual with the ability and desire to see the big picture beyond the happy path, and bend the lens to see what’s around the corner - we’re software professionals and we think in terms of what happens when…not what happens if…. * An economical mind with an intuition for understanding scope versus value and placing emphasis on the 80/20 rule. * An empathetic person who mindfully intends to make it easier for the producers and consumers of their work to affectively do their jobs. * An architectural thinker that values availability and scalability.
