  • B2B Expertise: Deep experience building business-facing products at scale
  • AI/ML Fluency: You aren’t just a fan of AI; you understand how to leverage Machine Learning to solve user problems and have experience building AI-powered product features.
  • Customer-obsession: You have a passion for speaking directly with your users and personally conducting user research.
  • Strategic Versatility: You are a "smart generalist" who can be thrown at any complex problem—whether it’s a technical architectural hurdle or a brand-new market opportunity—and figure it out.
  • Self-Motivation: You are highly driven and thrive in an environment where you are given the autonomy to drive massive impact.

Preferred Qualifications:
