• Familiarity with modern software development practices, APIs, and enterprise-grade technologies
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical audiences and translate complexity to simplicity
• Demonstrated empathy for end users as well as admins, with the ability to translate customer pain points into application features
• Enthusiastic yet pragmatic approach to applying AI to specific application features, with a focus on substance over style
• Located in the Pacific or Mountain time zones to facilitate collaboration during core working hours

Nice to Have

• Experience working on metadata-driven application platforms
• Knowledge of low-code or no-code development environments
• Familiarity with large-scale enterprise application categories like HR, ERP, CRM, etc.
• Exposure to agile methodologies and product management tools like JIRA, Confluence, or similar
• Experience building products for global, multi-language markets
