You have already worked in an environment that involved collaboration with other teams and have gained some leadership experience in that environment.
You have a strong interest in the product you are developing and the people who use it.

As a true team player, you can deal with various characters and keep the big picture in mind during discussions.
Last but not least: you are enthusiastic about our product and want to join us on our exciting journey!
