- Partner closely with Product and stakeholders — translate business requirements into technical plans, surface trade-offs early, and keep cross-functional partners informed throughout delivery
- Set a high bar for quality without sacrificing pace — bring a bias to ship and iterate fast, balanced with the craft and judgment to avoid costly shortcuts
