Do you hire/manage Senior-Level Web Developers? What traits matter the most in who you choose to hire or promote?
I put together a list of responses to this query on a post on my company's blog, but I thought after writing it that I would like to ask here on dev.to as well!
P.S. I'm happy to add any helpful answers to the post with a link back to your site (or careers page if you're hiring!) Just note in your answer if you'd like me to include it.

I think this post by @rkoutnik has an interesting take on traits as folks gain experience.
