• A demonstrable ability to articulate and sell the benefits of modern platforms, software and technologies.
• A real passion for being curious and a continuous learner. You are someone that invests in yourself as much as you invest in your professional relationships.
• A history of successful customer relations where you developed an understanding of what made a difference, and devised architectures that helped meet a goal, tackle a problem, or outpace competitors.
• An ability to influence. Have you more than once convinced a team you worked for, of an idea, technology, or architectural pattern?
• The ability to inspire groups, both large and small.
• A willingness to travel 30% within region, as well as occasionally internationally.

Bonus Points:
