• Go deep on data + SQL: Ability to design correct, performant, and maintainable Raw SQL
• Engineer for reliability and security: Build systems with strong execution guarantees, resilience, and clear operational behavior—especially in a constrained, low-level runtime
• Own critical architecture decisions: Evaluate tradeoffs, document reasoning, and choose solutions based on requirements—not tool trends
• Operate with high autonomy: Identify what needs to be built, propose approaches, and execute with minimal hand-holding
• Use AI responsibly: Leverage AI tools where helpful, while demonstrating the depth to review, validate, and correct AI-generated code
• Raise the bar through collaboration: Participate in code reviews and technical discussions with a focus on clarity, quality, and long-term maintainability
