Any other tasks that may be assigned to help the company meet its goals

R&D Literacy: You understand the nuances of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). You know the difference between a DevOps engineer and a Backend engineer and can speak fluently about sprints, technical debt, and shipping code
Experience: 6+ years of HR Business Partner experience, with a significant portion (3+ years) directly supporting Engineering, Product, or Design organizations in a high-growth SaaS environment
The "FloQast Way": You embody our values: Authenticity, Ownership, and Collaboration. You are comfortable with candor and move with a sense of urgency
Analytical Mindset: You approach people operations like an engineer—identifying root causes, building scalable processes, and measuring outcomes
