• Agilista capable of driving and delivering thin slices of end-to-end functionality on a regular cadence with data-driven feedback loops.
• Communication skills to listen to the customer, hear the story and retell the problem space back to your internal customer.
• Desire and ability to coach and mentor more junior developers.
