Full Job Posting
What you'll do
Talk directly to customers to understand how they use the product and where it falls short
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
How this role fits
Product is led directly by our CEO. You’ll work closely with him, along with engineering and design leadership, to shape direction and priorities.

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
You should be able to quickly build context, form strong opinions, and contribute at a high level.
Additional strengths
Experience working on data-heavy or technical products
Experience building or leading complex projects or initiatives
