• Spend time with customers and partners and work closely with researchers, engineers, designers, and operators.

Requirements

• Experience personally building and shipping zero-to-one enterprise, developer, or AI products.

• Ability to change direction when the facts change.
• Ability to build credibility with demanding practitioners and partners.
• Ability to collaborate with low ego across teams without direct management authority.
• Ability to bring clarity, pace, and calm to complex, fast-moving work.
