- Production Reps: You’ve seen and experienced enough of what good looks like in production software to help lead yourself with regards to DevOps practices.
- Remote work: You need to be confident in your own ability to manage your time, be available for your team, and build relationships in that situation.
- Servanthood: Balancing long-term goals with the tactical needs of the current sprint - all in service to our audience - requires an open-handed, thoughtful posture of service.
- Teachability: You have a history of learning new things and are open to the growth that comes through collegial debate and collaboration.
