The role

You will talk with customers, learn how they use the product, and define the most important problems to solve. You will turn those insights into proposals for product direction and work with engineers and design on solutions and tradeoffs.

What you will do

• Build a deep understanding of user workflows, especially in data-heavy environments
• Identify and clearly define the most important problems to solve
• Turn those insights into clear proposals for product direction
• Move across engineering teams, focusing on where context is most useful
• Work closely with engineers and design to shape solutions and tradeoffs
• Bring clarity to ambiguous problems so teams can move quickly and make good decisions

Required qualifications

• Strong technical foundation (e.g., engineering or similarly technical experience)
• Hands-on experience working with data tools (e.g., querying, modeling, or building with data)
• Ability to understand user needs and translate them into clear problem definitions
• Strong product judgment: what's worth solving, what isn't, and why
• Comfortable working closely with engineers on feasibility and tradeoffs
• Able to operate with high judgment in ambiguous environments
• Clear thinker and communicator, especially when simplifying complex ideas

Nice to have

• Experience working on data-heavy or technical products
• Experience building or leading complex projects or initiatives
• Track record of taking ownership and operating with autonomy

Benefits

• Meaningful equity
• Fully employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance (75% coverage for dependents)
