Requirements

- Self-direction and autonomy: You excel in small teams where you have the autonomy to identify problems and propose solutions.
- Clear technical communication: You write readable, well-documented code and can explain technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Product partnership experience: You've partnered with product managers to define solutions, scope work, and establish project timelines.
