- Proven Track Record in Customer-Facing Technical Work: Experience in technical support, solutions engineering, implementation, or product enablement where you served as a trusted advisor.
- Self-Directed Problem Solving: Comfort operating in ambiguous environments—identifying high-impact work independently rather than waiting for direction.
