Growth mindset and willingness to learn from and teach others.
Willingness to productively challenge assumptions.
Curiosity about how systems work and how they fail.
Detail oriented and proud of the work you deliver.
An ability to collaborate with teams who may be unfamiliar with build and CI tooling to help them get the most out of them.
