• Experience with developer productivity, developer tooling, or engineering platforms

• Hands-on familiarity with AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) and how engineers actually use them

• Bonus: experience building or shipping AI-native or agentic workflows

• A strong track record leading cross-functional programs with real dependencies and tight timelines, autonomously and with only high-level direction

• Experience owning customer relationships across engineering teams, gathering requirements, and translating their needs into roadmaps and technical specs

• Ability to glean meaningful insights from usage and productivity data to influence product planning and communicate to others

• Comfortable defining and tracking success metrics and adoption
