They're chasing after the products and people that strive for excellence • Bias for Action • Take initiative, make decisions quickly, and have a willingness to experiment and learn from failures • Customer expectations are not static. They rise over time, which means we have to continuously improve every single day • Coachability; it's not about being right, it's about getting to the right answer • Reacts calmly to criticism or negative feedback, and has a "feedback is an opportunity for information and improvement" mindset • Respectfully challenges decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable.

As a senior engineer, you'll jump right into meaningful, self-directed work—taking ownership over architecture decisions, implementing critical features, and helping shape the product from the outset. You'll have dedicated check-ins to receive feedback, discuss progress, and align expectations. This hands-on trial helps both of us confidently assess whether there's strong alignment on technical approach, autonomy, and long-term fit.
