  • Identify and prioritize developer pain points using qualitative and quantitative signals with the focus on impact.

  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and conflicting priorities.

  • A bias for leverage, defaults, and standards, grounded in the belief that standardization unlocks creativity.

  • SLOs, DORA metrics, and cost efficiency metrics.
