• Taking ownership - The code we ship is our responsibility as we know it best;
• Delivering value - By focussing on providing the best customer experience, we improve acquisition and retention and drive revenue.

• Result-oriented - You manage the trade-offs between speed and quality and are able to find the right balance. You would rather ship, measure, learn and iterate, rather than code the perfect component on the first try.
• Resilient - You can adapt and roll up your sleeves to help others. You operate at a stable pace with visibility most of the time and you are ready to embrace change when it happens.
• Proactive - You take initiative to identify opportunities and drive projects forward with minimal direction, independently navigating ambiguity to deliver impactful results.
