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.
• Technical Product Leads contribute to roadmap discussions and help guide what gets built through strong problem definition and customer insight.
• Engineering Managers plan and execute the work.

What we’re looking for

• 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

Additional strengths

• 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

Company Info

• We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development.
• We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks.
• And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
