- Effectively scope work, sequence delivery, and proactively remove blockers, making thoughtful trade‑offs between scope, speed, and quality to ensure successful and timely project delivery.
- Partner with Taktile’s product management team to turn your understanding of customer needs into actionable product insights, directly influencing the evolution of Taktile’s product roadmap.
- Develop reusable resources, best practices, and tools to share your expertise and help scale the forward‑deployed engineering function across the organization.

Our Stance
We’re eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We’re looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.
We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism, and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won’t inquire about how you identify or if you’ve experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
