- Demonstrated knowledge within the developer tooling space with a thorough understanding of open source, open core architecture and commercializing products.
- Solid eye for business, with deep understanding of the nuances of different business models (B2B, SaaS, cloud marketplaces), business life cycles, and how to measure those.
- Authentic and empathetic storyteller, particularly with external partners, but you also love to lead from behind and/or to share the spotlight broadly with the team.
- Entrepreneurial experience, an MBA, or equivalent experience. Experience scaling up from a startup environment to a robust business.
- Clear understanding across all aspects of the software development lifecycle, with deep familiarity with the types of tools, practices and infrastructure that support it.
