• You are a strong team player who values collaboration and prioritizes collective success over individual achievements. You enjoy collaboratively solving problems. We succeed together and learn from failures together. You care for your teammates and foster an inclusive and supportive environment where collaboration, open communication, and commitment to team goals are vital.

• You are experienced in Lean/Agile environments. Concepts such as focusing on impact, working in small iterations, measuring and gathering feedback, and adapting the roadmap are familiar to you.

• You possess excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, knowing what to convey and when, and tailoring your message for your audience. Our official language is English, so effective communication in English is essential.

• You demonstrate a high level of autonomy and require minimal supervision.
