  • Believe a diverse and inclusive team is a critical aspect of a sustainable and effective work environment

  • Are customer-focused and empathetic - with attention to both developer experience and security risk reduction

  • Care about improving the systems around you, and leaving things better than you found them

  • Are a strong team player and communicator

  • Use data to inform and communicate your decisions

Compensation:
