• Preference for self-directed work [You'll work with our top technical talent, but we're looking for evidence that when given a problem to solve, you know how to identify and execute the means for solving it.]
• Demonstrated history of effective collaboration [You'll be working with multiple other people as part of a variety of integrated teams and must be capable of shouldering work yourself with little guidance. This implies other things like good communication, planning and coordination, and 'soft' skills.]
