Who you are:

You'll thrive here if:

You're a dog, you've been underestimated, gone through struggle, and never stopped running.

Early stage is in your bones, you've built things where there's no playbook and nobody handing you the answer.

You own it end to end, give you a goal and you figure out your own path.

You believe speed and accuracy are both possible.

This won't be a fit if:

You need structure handed to you or ambiguity feels draining rather than motivating.

You want to manage people more than own hard problems.

You're used to 'good enough' shipping.
