* Self-Motivated. You do great work and the drive to deliver is just a part of you.
* Passionate about Testing. A love of testing and breaking code. You can find those edge cases and can discover unique paths to exercise features in new and unexpected ways.
* A True Team Player. You enjoy collaborating with, learning from, and teaching others, so we all can become better. You assume the good intent in others, and actively do your part to create a positive work environment.
* Customer Focused. You want to learn about customers, their challenges & scenarios and you find satisfaction in shipping quality products that delight customers.
* Relentlessly High Standards. You have high standards, and your personal software practices ensure you deliver high quality no matter what. You believe in constantly releasable quality, iterations, design for testability, and you build your own tools & techniques to achieve high quality and low cost of support. You deliver better results through using quality practices every day, and you even have taught or influenced others to improve their practices.
