• Develop and drive design principles, interaction models, and usability standards that scale across the platform.
• Act as a thought partner to Product and Engineering leadership on product sequencing, scope tradeoffs, and user-centered decision-making.

• Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous problem spaces and advocate for users in high-velocity environments.
• Comfortable partnering with founders and product leadership to shape strategynot just execute requirements.

• Experience in PLG-driven environments, using UX to improve activation, expansion, and retention metrics.
• Strong understanding of mobile UX patterns for both Android and iOS.
