  • Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools

  • At least 6 years building expertise within the technology space
  • Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
  • A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
