💻 You can build complex systems. You’ve written or been exposed to production code, or you’re a self-taught builder who has shipped products and put them in the hands of users. You’re able to navigate a codebase, and work with agents and APIs.
🧠 You think in systems. You see a manual process and instinctively work out what the scalable version looks like. You’re allergic to work that has to be redone every week.
💰 You’re genuinely commercially minded. You care about value delivered to the end customer, not perfect systems for their own sake. You focus ruthlessly on systems that move the needle towards improving business outcomes.
🤖 You use agents constantly. You never build without them, you understand how to improve them and where they break, and you have opinions about what should and shouldn’t be automated.
🏢 You’ve been exposed to hiring processes in some way. Ideally, you understand what it’s like to be a hiring manager: the anxiety of a role sitting open too long, and why speed and communication matter so much. That gives you genuine empathy for our customers.
🧭 You’re high agency. You find the highest-leverage problem and run at it hard. You’d rather ship something rough this week and iterate, than spec the idealised version for next week.
