Motivated: You are self-motivated and bring enthusiasm to the team. This isn\'t about a fake or arbitrary "pieces of flair" mentality or lack of work-life balance. It is about being part of the vision and reaching team goals.
A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We work together to achieve remarkable results.
An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.
Creative: When things fall outside clear scopes, you identify problems and invent solutions without micromanagement, and enjoy solving open-ended problems that may evolve day-to-day.
