About The Position

This role owns parts of that learner journey end to end. You'll work on products people use every day, across months and years — and you'll be judged on whether they come back, not whether you shipped the feature. We're a lean team. There's no room for someone who needs a lot of process around them to do good work.

Requirements

You've built something recently. Not managed a roadmap — actually built something. A product, a feature, a side project. Something you can demo, something real users touched, something you iterated on based on what you saw.
You use AI tools every day and you've shipped something with them in the last few months. You know the difference between a good use case and a gimmick.
You can have a technical conversation with an engineer without needing a translator.
You think in retention, not launches. You understand why users come back — or don't — and you've moved that needle before.
You work fast and clean. You don't wait to be told what to do. You raise problems early, move through ambiguity, and leave things better than you found them.
5+ years in B2C product, with a track record in engagement or retention
Something shipped with AI in the last 3–6 months — work or personal project
Comfortable going deep with engineers on systems, APIs, and trade-offs
A natural bias toward simplicity and speed over process and complexity

Instrument your products, run experiments, and use data alongside qualitative insight
Work closely with engineering and design — create clarity, not overhead
