The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Relay recurring product gaps from customer work to the product engineering team with clear supporting evidence.
What we're looking for
- Solid programming skills, with the ability to reason through tricky problems and arrive at efficient solutions.
- Track record of leading technical discussions with customers in real time, without intermediaries.
- Prior work with important accounts at growing business-to-business software firms.
- An undergraduate STEM degree from a US-based university.
- Living in the New York City area already, so no move is needed.
- A clear signal of excellence, such as a top computer science program or a standout engineering track record.
