• Impact & autonomy: You have the ability to focus on the most impactful tasks for the company. You are a doer, you take initiative and you always go the extra mile.
• Learning: You love to learn new things, and to share your knowledge.
• Great energy: You are enthusiastic and excited by change. Shipping things makes you happy, and you can pass that energy to the team.
