About The Position

Product Builders turn customer problems into working software, combining engineering ability, product thinking, and design judgment while using AI throughout discovery, implementation, and delivery. They take ambiguous opportunities, build useful solutions, and support them through production and real-world use. The role involves working with AI daily, experimenting with emerging capabilities, and improving tools and workflows to enable better products. Work may span payments, consumer applications, enterprise products, platforms, and experiences for people and software agents.
