* Drive. You’re extremely ambitious, initiative‑driven, and hold yourself to a high, rising bar. You take responsibility for your work and match the intensity of your ambition.
* Team spirit. You give generously, support the best idea, and are reliable, honest, and transparent. You help the team and are happy to get your hands dirty.
* Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak English proficiently.
