Superpowers:

Customer Obsessed. Our software is ever changing, and you’ll need to stay on top of the latest and greatest adjustments. It’s kind of like being obsessed with Oprah’s book club and that feeling that you have to read the next one as soon as it comes out. 

Ownership. We need someone who embodies this value and can figure things out and move quickly. If you need direction and someone to hold your hand, this job is not for you.
