During my time interviewing for my FT first role as a non-founder, I've been asking the engineering leaders this question. A few responses so far:<p>* Proactively take on projects, don’t wait for someone to give a perfectly scoped out task.<p>* When things go down, the engineer doesn’t shut down, they tackle the challenge logically, and will also reach out for help appropriately.<p>* Hunger to learn<p>* Go above expectations to fixes systems or builds things that makes it easier for engineers or other teams to operate.
