Technical leadership and team spirit; we are all contributing to the same platform, so be a great individual contributor and motivate the team through leading to achieve our collective goals – we only win if the team wins – see the impact of your own work and positively influence and help the work of others.
Get stuck in, execute, generate ideas, have an impact, don’t just sit back and be a passenger.
Being level-headed; keeping your head when all about you are losing theirs.
Be a strong, balanced and flexible team player in an Agile context.
Ability to influence and mentor Development teams and foster a DevOps culture from the ground up. Excellent communication skills and a strong team working ethic.
