- Partner closely with Engineering, UX, Go‑to‑Market, and Product‑Led Growth teams to take ideas from concept to real‑world impact
- Shape how AI capabilities are packaged, positioned, and monetized for individual developers and teams
- Scale successful initiatives, ensuring they deliver sustained value for users and measurable results for the business

- Hands‑on experience in experimentation, metrics, funnels, and hypothesis‑driven decision making
- Experience working with AI‑powered products and agentic platforms
- Ability to translate ambiguity into clear product hypotheses and decisions
