  • Enjoys simplifying complex processes into intuitive user experiences.
  • Pays close attention to application states, edge cases and failure handling.
  • Writes clean, maintainable and scalable code.
  • Takes ownership from implementation through production.
  • Balances engineering quality with speed of execution.
  • Enjoys solving technically challenging product problems with measurable business impact.
  • Excited about building AI-powered workflow automation products used at scale.
  • Focus only on implementing UI without understanding how the underlying system works.
  • Prefer highly detailed specifications over solving product and engineering challenges.
  • Overlook edge cases, application states or production reliability.
  • Produce code that's difficult to maintain or scale.
  • Prefer slow-moving environments over fast-paced product development.
