• Full-stack ownership: You can move between frontend, backend, data, and AI systems to ship a complete product.

• Pragmatic judgment: You simplify complex capabilities without hiding important controls or failure modes.

• High agency: You can turn an unclear workflow into a concrete product direction and move it forward.

• Close collaborators: You work well with product, design, AI Strategy, and AI engineers and communicate tradeoffs clearly.

• Build assistant experiences across web and document-based workflows.

• Design product patterns for scheduled work, durable agent runs, approvals, progress, and recovery.

• Build reusable workflow and prompt libraries that help users get consistent results.

• Create clear controls, feedback loops, and explanations for complex agent behavior.

• Connect product telemetry and evaluations so the team can measure and improve quality.

• Work across the frontend and backend stack to ship complete, reliable features.

• Partner closely with product, AI Strategy, and AI engineers from problem discovery through launch and iteration.

NICE TO HAVE

• You have shipped user-facing products from early concept through production.
