It exists in the real world, not just in renders - High taste: in how the product looks, and in where the bar sits for what’s acceptable - High agency: you spot the problem and ship the fix without being told - Comfortable in a fast-moving, unfinished environment where the plan changes - Pragmatic under pressure: you know when to polish and when it just has to work for tomorrow’s demo - Fluent in English; Swedish is a plus **How to apply:** Share a portfolio if you have one.
