- Interest and experience in leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, align diverse perspectives, and drive toward practical solutions
- Experience with API design fundamentals and product thinking: versioning, backward compatibility, schema-driven development, and weighing tradeoffs from the customer's perspective
- Comfort with designing systems from scratch and owning the product development process end-to-end
- Strong written communication skills and experience working in a remote, async-first team that’s spread across time zones
