- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bring clarity and focus to complex technical discussions.

- Self-motivated with strong execution discipline, able to drive projects to completion in a fast-moving environment.

- We use Zed for tracking and communication, so you must be comfortable with working on prioritization in markdown and Github issues.

Preferred Qualifications
