The best ideas win, regardless of who has them. </li><li>Direct: You say the hard thing, challenge ideas openly, and commit fully once decided. </li><li>High agency: You thrive on trust rather than instruction. When you see something is broken, you fix it. You don’t file tickets and wait for someone else. </li><li>Bar of excellence: You hold yourself to a bar most people wouldn't, and you want teammates who do the same. </li><li>Skeptical: You push back on rules that don’t make sense and question assumptions that haven’t earned their place. <br><br></li></ul>Compensation Range: $240K - $300K<br><br>
