The ability to collaborate on solution with product team and be part of solution.

They have always spent time to learn domain of product and were able to actively propose technical solutions and opportunities.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
In early stages of product they had a tendency to overcommit to complex things, which looked simple on first sight. But after sprint or two, we have calibrated collaboration and expectations on technical analysis and estimates of solutions.
