• Refactor the technology module VMware has been afraid to touch
• Mentor newer mid-level hires on how VMware actually wires Goal Setting together

• Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
• Practical CloudFormation skills sharpened in a freelance setting
• A VMware mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• Proven track record delivering results as a mid-level Cloud Engineer
• Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support mid-level teammates
• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
