You are a HANDS ON implementor, a get-it-done kind of developer. The right person is a self starter with the “general get it factor”. You work well with a team of like-minded engineers, and have a genuine desire for excellence.
Well rounded candidates such as release engineers with a background in both large corporate environments and small startups have an edge.
