- History of making meaningful contributions to a widely used product, ideally on mobile.
- Strong sense of ownership and ease with ambiguity in a startup setting.
- Good product judgment and a keen eye for interface detail.
- Practical experience using AI tools and agent-based workflows in day-to-day development.
