  • Collaborate with engineers and scientists to rapidly prototype and validate solutions.
  • Drive a “Formula 1” culture of speed, precision, and continuous improvement.
Execution & Delivery

  • Balance multiple stakeholder needs while protecting technical excellence.
  • Communicate priorities and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

    • 5+ years in product management with technical/engineering ownership.
    • Experience with SDKs, APIs, or developer-facing tools strongly preferred.
    • Familiarity with AI/ML, computer vision, or imaging technologies a plus.
  • Skills & Mindset:
    • Deep technical fluency, able to “speak engineer” and translate complexity for stakeholders.
    • Strong organizational and execution skills under tight timelines.
