• Ownership and responsibility (“I own my area of responsibility”)
• Continuously push the limits (“I don’t accept no as an answer. No is just an option”)
• Openness & cooperation (“Everyone matters”)

• Explain root causes vs surface symptoms clearly.
• Recommend exactly how to tackle our tech-stack limitations in the most agile & lean way possible.

• Own technical direction for the client-area/tech-stack decoupling (architecture, interfaces, incremental migration plan)
• Establish engineering best practices: code quality, reviews, testing strategy, definition of done

• Translate product goals into an execution plan: milestones, sequencing, risks, and dependencies
• Break down initiatives into tasks the team can execute independently and track progress

• Mentor developers through pairing, feedback, and coaching
• Run effective 1:1s and create clarity on expectations and growth
• Raise the bar for structured thinking and ownership across the team and serve as a technical leader

• Implement critical parts of the new client area + middleware layer
• Review PRs, improve legacy code safely, and guide refactors
• Help the team move faster through better tooling and patterns (including AI-assisted workflows while maintaining quality)

• Define and own product north-star metrics. You will be accountable for moving these numbers in production and proving causality between product decisions and customer outcomes through technical execution.
• Be involved in defining the product roadmap & team expectations
• Be involved with ICP interviews, customer discovery, translate insights into product & tech priorities, and validate value delivered.

• Deep Technical Product Skills: You possess very deep technical skills which helps you bridge the gap between developers, product & knowing what developers need in their products.
• System Thinking: You understand how complex technical systems fit together — allowing you to anticipate dependencies, identify bottlenecks, and make product decisions that align with architectural realities
• Business Accumen: You make product decisions with a clear understanding of revenue, margins, costs, ROI, and market dynamics — ensuring that every feature drives measurable business impact. You translate tech language to CEO language well.
• Product Discovery & Research Excellence: You use structured frameworks to deeply understand customer needs, uncover root problems, and validate solutions before building.
• Data & Analytics Competency: You are highly data-driven. You independently pull data, analyze patterns, and make decisions based on real evidence — not assumptions. You are able to structure dashboards, interpret product metrics, and use data to prioritize the roadmap
• AI + Coding: Ability to leverage AI tools for fast iteration while maintaining high quality.
• Excellent Communication: You communicate clearly, ask smart questions early, and surface risks before they become outages

• Start-up Mentality: You love wearing multiple hats, happy to own both the technical decisions and the product direction, while working in small teams, and and energized by ambiguity
• Hands-on approach: You are ready to roll up your sleeves & delve deep into intricate details of the technology & product in a fast-paced/agile work environment.
• Customer Obsession: You deeply understand and care about customer pains, use cases, and workflows. You constantly talk to customers, gather insights, and think about the product from the customer's point of view rather than your own.
• Results Oriented: You take full responsibility for outcomes — not tasks. You naturally step into gaps, solve problems proactively, and operate like a founder inside the product. You are comfortable working in fast, lean, high-ownership environments.
• High Technical Passion: You’re naturally passionate about technology. You love learning how systems work — and actively seek technical depth. You ask smart questions to find solutions, dive into logs, code and thrive at the intersection of engineering and user needs
• Product-minded: You are commercially aware & product aware.

• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, preferably in fast-paced startup environments.
• 2+ years of experience in a broader business or product involvement — not just backlog & technical delivery. You’ve been accountable for strategic product decisions, and can translate engineering language to product language based on customer needs.
