The role requires innovation and the capability to push through boundaries, all in the service of helping our customers successfully deliver their products.

As one of the first hires at a venture-track company, this role provides an opportunity to grow with the business, and to have real impact with enormous upside.

• Passionate about delivering for users and collaborating with teammates.
• Have a strong bias for action, a track record of moving quickly, and the ability to identify where and when scrappiness is the right approach versus those places where deeper rigor is required.
