Responsibilities

  • Product sense and comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces.
  • Ability to collaborate with product managers, domain experts, operations teams, and engineers.
  • Ability to take problems from vague customer pain through architecture, implementation, rollout, measurement, and iteration.
