- Enjoy talking about technical concepts, have great analytical skills, and be comfortable explaining technically complicated topics simply and elegantly, even in challenging situations.
- Enjoy the puzzle of solving open-ended problems.
- Are adaptive and have no problem constantly learning about a changing technical product, even when it’s a little out of your depth.
- Are happy to take on new projects, which can sometimes involve quickly researching to become a subject matter expert while seeing things through to completion.
