Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or leading an experimentation platform product, either within a consumer technology company or at an experimentation technology provider.
• Knowledge of experimentation methodologies, including randomized experiments, feature flags, model experimentation, metric design, and statistical evaluation.
• Ability to develop platform strategies that connect shared technical capabilities to broader company and product priorities.
