  • Fast learner: you gravitate toward learning new things, and often find yourself learning more quickly than everyone around you.

  • Zero ego: you don't just take feedback, but truly see it as a gift. You don't wait until feedback is given, but solicit it with every opportunity.
  • Founder mentality: you roll up your sleeves to help solve the most pressing problem on a given day, even if it has nothing to do with this job post.
