What we're looking for
- 4+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years at a large technology firm or a high-caliber growth-stage startup.
- A track record of leading product work end to end, from early scoping through release, across a wide area of functionality.
- Strong front-end background shipping production web apps, with React and Next.js.
- Experience creating data-intensive products featuring visualizations, charts and maps.
- Skill in designing and prototyping user interfaces in Figma or similar tools.
- Comfort using AI-assisted tools to speed up prototyping, coding and delivery.
- Ability to partner with internal stakeholders, collect reactions to early versions and turn them into clear requirements.
- A computer science degree.
