• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end

What You'll Bring

• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
• 8+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illustrations
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• A flat-and-fast attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
