In the past I lead and organized small teams if that's relevant for the job.
Motivating good communication in the team and asking people how they feel and what they need to do work and denying whatever empty jira ticket the boss created that morning thinking it's super obvious and lacks a description despite the guideline saying so. That sort of thing.
I'm pretty ok at orga / team stuff but I don't need it to be part of new job. Usually I only end up there by filling a power vacuum.
I'm serious I am currently writing code that avoids features of Java 5.
Of course our CI/CD can compile and deploy modern Java. And of course we all know the language features we're not stupid.
The project is old and the project stays so much simpler and cleaner if we stick to the current design (also dictated by some external libraries).
Thus I punch in my bit flags instead of using enum.
Because the clear communication is more important.
We all know enum that's not the issue lol
It's soo easy to stray away from good engineering and into tech fetishm / "Shiny New Thing Syndrome".
Of course we use current compilers and keep our systems auto-updated.
Reading and writing the code is the important part and writing code others can read and mold is the skill one should value IMO.
It's a communications game and it always has been.
Rewriting large parts of the software just to add syntax sugar or make faster which was already fast enough is really Junior Dev thinking no shade

I think these parts already show a lot of what I can do / how I think.
I'm really content with 100 % #remotework
My current employer is just a walk away but we only meet up once per week to eat kebab. That office is a ghost town and #remote works quite fine for us. Some of my most important colleagues I work with every day I never met irl.
Currently working @ #Logistics but I feel like it never fell in love with it. I'm ok with writing logistics software but I'm really open for anything
