• Quality Mindset: Comfortable with testing strategies across the testing pyramid and thinking about edge cases in data sensitive flows.

• Problem Solving: Able to work through ambiguous or complex technical challenges independently, with sound judgement on when to ask for input.

• Collaboration: Strong written and spoken communication skills, and experience working closely with backend, product and design counterparts.

• Ownership: Comfortable owning a feature or problem area end to end, from technical approach through to delivery.

• Domain Interest (nice to have): Interest or prior experience in payroll, compensation, fintech or other data sensitive, regulated domains.

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.
