• Self-directed problem-solving ability
• Comfort working in unconventional environments (think: solving problems on-site at a mechanic's shop)
• Focus on execution rather than delegation
• Ability to navigate ambiguous requirements independently

The Opportunity: Join a team where your code directly impacts real-world operations. You'll tackle open-ended challenges like "Why are we delaying so many flights?" or "How can we better identify instances of money laundering?" while working with cutting-edge technology.
