• High Agency & Speed: You move quickly and can clearly demonstrate what you built, scaled, and delivered over the last six months
• Real World AI Expertise: A strong grasp of AI model behavior in practical deployments, including accuracy trade-offs, false positives, latency, and cost
• Hands-On Problem Solving: A builder who actively prototypes, analyzes data, and works directly alongside engineering teams instead of depending on static spec sheets
• Customer & Commercial Orientation: Eager to collaborate closely with sales teams and customers to unearth key insights that drive product decisions
• Strong Interpersonal & Technical Credibility: Ability to seamlessly navigate conversations ranging from deep technical reviews with engineers to onsite customer meetings
• Scalable Product Judgment: Sharp instincts for separating unique, isolated customer requests from repeatable, platform-level features
