  • Comfort presenting to and building relationships with executive audiences
  • Experience working directly with enterprise clients
  • Strong problem-solving skills under pressure
  • Ability to context-switch across multiple client engagements
  • Strong customer obsession and genuine care for client success
  • Engineering rigor with a focus on clean, maintainable, production-ready code
  • Strategic thinking that connects technical work to business impact
