• - Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention
• - Rethink how we (and the industry) do pull request reviews by aligning on goals with the team, sampling a set of PRs to understand how effective they are, and writing a proposal to the team about what we could change to speed up reviews while giving reviewers the time and space to give useful feedback

• - You hold your team to a high standard and don’t shy away from getting into the details and giving feedback, even to the best folks on your team
• - You’re good at thinking about product, business, and maybe even design, but you’re not interested in calling the shots and are more interested in building a team that can make the best decisions without you
• - You think engineering culture and process could use improvement, and you’ve tried or successfully implemented something that sheds the status quo in pursuit of something better
• - You are an excellent and empathetic communicator
