You have a proven ability to make difficult decisions about what to prioritize and what to ignore. You identify where you can make the most beneficial impact for our customers and continue working until that benefit has been achieved.

You're passionate about adding data to our processes where it's missing, so we can gain insight into where our problems are. You understand the value of open-source technologies and know how to get them deployed and adopted in a mature software development environment.

Most importantly, you're passionate about keeping our customers happy with our product.

Preferred Experience Level: 8+ years of relevant experience, 3+ years of management, including building and delivering software applications.

Education: B.S. in Computer Science, or a related field.
