• Build trust, credibility, and positive relationships with a diverse set of distributed stakeholders.
• Write and maintain clear documentation in Confluence.
• Verify performance improvements and fixes, ensuring that performance does not regress.
• Improve automation processes to allocate more time for analyzing measurements rather than just obtaining them.
• Take ownership of tasks, demonstrate initiative, communicate proactively, learn from mistakes, and continuously improve.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and willing to venture into the unknown, accepting that failure is part of the job as we push our products to discover their limits.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to question and derive deep meaning from data.
• Preference for ownership and growth over handholding and stagnation.
• Passionate about learning and committed to delivering high-quality work.
• Able to persevere through challenges and unblock oneself through research, experimentation, and critical thinking.
