What we’re looking for…

We empower our product teams to solve hard problems – customer problems and business problems – in ways that our customers love yet work for our business. Our product teams are cross-functional and durable. We staff our product teams with the skills and team members necessary to come up with effective solutions that are valuable, viable, usable and feasible. While product is accountable for ensuring our solutions are both valuable and viable, engineering is accountable for ensuring the solution is technically feasible.
