- An 'extra zero' mindset: you aim for outcomes that are 10x, not 10%, and own the result end-to-end
- Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose ideas, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of a team
- Genuine interest in and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly
