- Curiosity and the acceptance that there are always ways to learn and grow
- The desire to be an active contributor in a collaborative and fast-paced environment
- Excitement in solving puzzles, discovering how a new service or tool works by identifying the individual components, libraries, and relationships it is built upon

- Comfort in dealing with Incidents and Availability Issues
- Familiarity with working with Cloud and Bare Metal infrastructure
