As a self-starter, you actively research and introduce new solutions that add value to our products.

4. 5% Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing – Leadership extends beyond writing code. You mentor and guide team members by sharing knowledge, providing feedback, and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
