Frequently shipping code to production, in small, safe increments (i.e. multiple times per day).
Stepping outside your comfort zone, quickly adapting to new technologies and problems.
Proactively identifying and addressing blockers, before they become issues.
Produce code of excellent quality, that is simple to understand, change, test, re-use.
Produce code that is always in a releasable state.
Taking a scientific and incremental approach to software engineering, including but not limited to identifying and reducing technical-debt, and continuously improving architecture and practices.
Driving testing and quality approaches, setting a strong example of others in the team.
Mentoring other team members on all of the above, to raise the bar across the organisation.

Thorough understanding of software testing strategies, encompassing unit, integration, and acceptance testing, as well as test-driven (TDD) and behaviour-driven development (BDD) practices.
