• Experience working in (light-weight) agile - you are familiar with the concept of agile development. We constantly adjust our ways of working to ensure collaboration, transparency, a safe work environment and continuous improvement of our deliveries. We also make sure not to have pointless meetings
• Data-driven mindset. You can create technical OKRs for features that you lead. You take decisions based on data. Instead of assuming, you refine and collect data points.
