I look for someone like me. Not by race or gender, but by character, temperament, intelligence, discernment, culture, language, and experience.
I can take (and have taken) a smaller number of software engineers by my standards and produce more and better than a larger team of software engineers by contemporary standards - all within the same budget for each.
You may not like my answer, but at least it is honest and a proven solution.

With honesty, you get a most of the other important behaviors.

My company has this huge push on diversity and inclusion. Drives me nuts because the implication is that I am a bigot when I truly don't care how you "identify" yourself. I only care if you are at least as competent as I am.
|
|
|
|
|
But the real answer is someone competent who can work on a problem to do a good job; give and accept advice - an not have an ego about it. A gestalt member.

In other words, someone who will pitch in and help get the job done. They don't just sit on their small piece of the work, shout "Finished!", and sit on their lazy ass while the rest of the group is humping over a problem.

I haven't had this problem often, but when it does it's really infuriating. The worst case was a hardware engineer working with me on a custom modification for a customer. He refused to help me debug the driver for his hardware, essentially pointing at his logic analyzer saying "there it is; it works". Bastard.

I had this happen when creating an API.
The caller of the API had a bug in his software but thought I should fix it because he was calling my API.

Written and verbal communication is key in any organization.
I've worked with developers who had their head so deep in code that they could barely string together a sentence when talking.
|
|
|
|
|
If the work planned approaches the time available, then it becomes harder to parse verbal requests and respond within the time grace period.
Else if not coffee yet you need goto away.

Honestly, sometimes our job is crazy as hell... If you lack a good sense of humor, you can't stand that
What I need in the team is someone who is not scared from a development environment. Someone who can use it with keyboard shortcuts and no mouse-traveller right-clicking a piece of code and choosing "copy".
Navigating with Ctrl+Cursor keys, switching tabs, closing tabs, formating code.. all that does not require a mouse.
At work I use a steelseries gaming keyboard with dozens of macros and snippets stored.
I want someone as crazy as me , who has the "geek++" factor
He/she must have respect for what he is doing, take the responsibility and the most most most important thing is:
If something goes wrong, and the first question is "who has done this"? Then he/she is out.
The first question HAS TO BE "Ok, how and how fast can we repair it?"
When everything is up and running again, we have plenty time to find someone to point our finger at.
In a good working team, this is never necessary. We find what was wrong and go in a discussion (or some advices/training sessions) of how to avoid that in the future.
Finger-pointing-teams are nothing I want to work with (hard to call such groups even a "team" tbh).
