Senior/Principal Product Manager

Who you are

• 6+ years of product management experience, with a significant portion spent in technically deep products
• Technical Fluency: A strong technical background (CS degree or equivalent experience) with the ability to discuss low-level architecture, C++, OS fundamentals, and similar with engineering partners. You’ve written multi-threaded code at least once and gone dining with philosophers
• Strategic Leadership: Proven ability to define a multi-year product vision and rally large, cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data Science) behind it
• Entrepreneurial drive: You have a "Founder" mindset. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, making high-stakes decisions with limited information, and driving projects from vague concepts to global launch
• Highly Analytical: Proficiency in defining and tracking complex metrics. You use data to find the "signal in the noise."
• Executive Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You can explain complex technical topics to non-technical executives and define detailed technical specs for engineers with equal fluency
• Experience with UGC platforms is a strong plus
