Competencies
Painful sense of urgency.
You make decisions and ship as if the company’s success depends on it, because it does. A-players love working with you and everyone else struggles to keep up.
Intellectually honest.
You know there’s just one job that underpins every other in a startup: find the truth. You are relentless in your pursuit of it, including when it challenges your own convictions, and do not let your colleagues sleepwalk into failure.
Pragmatic.
You have no patience for NIH Syndrome and analysis paralysis. You find the fastest path to a working capability without one-way doors that undermine scaling.
Strong systems instincts.
You understand that production quality includes reliability, observability, cost, latency, maintainability, and usability—not just algorithmic accuracy.
Comfort with ambiguity.
You can make progress when the problem, data, and requirements are still evolving.
