Full Job Description
What You'll Be Doing
  • You will own a product area, not a single feature.
  • You will help define the roadmap, not execute an existing one - you will talk with customers, founders, and engineers daily to figure out what to build next and do whatever it takes to serve their needs.
  • You will work across every business function: You'll work closely with engineers to prototype and ship products, marketers and AEs to figure out the right angle and pain points to highlight, and implementation specialists to strategize on rollout. Nothing is beyond your scope to drive a product to completion.
Who We're Looking For
  • Technical Depth / Engineering Experience: You can engage with engineers as a peer - you're able to use tools like Codex, Claude Code, etc. to quickly prototype ideas, but understand the additional steps needed to go from prototype to production.
  • High Ownership: You take responsibility for outcomes and push things to completion across teams. You are excited to work hard and move fast.
  • Customer Obsession: You genuinely like talking to customers constantly and turning those conversations into decisions and shipped product.
  • Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: You are strongly opinionated but are comfortable quickly shifting and adapting based on new information when presented with it.

We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed above. We believe exceptional people come from many different backgrounds, and we'd rather connect with you than miss the opportunity.

Come do the best work of your life and join us in shaping the future of critical technology that truly matters.
