Can explain complex technical concepts simply and build trust with customers
Have worked with LLM-powered products, or are genuinely excited by where they are going
Like fast-paced, in-person environments where ownership is expected and the work is visible
Why Join?
Real customer exposure and meaningful influence on product direction
