• A communicator. You’re comfortable presenting and can effectively share your product roadmap with stakeholders. You can get buy-in on your ideas and can motivate others toward a common goal.
• Naturally curious. You never stop learning—you’re eager for knowledge and new ideas because that improves the way you work. You love building prototypes, testing, learning and evolving.

Our Role

• Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time above any required statutory leave, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
