Required

You've been a technical founder or product engineer in a startup: We are explicitly looking for someone who has written code before and now wants to focus on the product and commercial side

You have strong product sense - meaning you can identify a product's biggest selling points and weaknesses (both user experience and commercial) and turn them into actionable insights that inform your team's product decisions

You're familiar with business and product metrics (e.g. activation, retention, churn) and defining and tracking key product metrics. You don't hesitate to write SQL (or another query language) to answer data questions

You're very proactive/organized, so you don't wait to be told what to do. Instead, you figure out what needs to happen, make it happen and keep multiple threads moving forward without letting things slip

You collaborate well as you default to transparency, share early, and seek feedback from the team and customers in an async-first world. Strong communication skills are the key to strong collaboration

Preferred

You've done a decent portion of interviewing users already. And looking at additional product management experience, you might have even worked with designers or engineers on new user experiences?

You have additional data modelling experience on top of writing queries

You've worked on a developer tool or AI product before
