• Legally eligible to work in India on an ongoing basis.

• Lead customer and user discovery with enterprise personas (work admins, solution builders, system administrators, and power users) to understand how DataMesh is used in practice, identify migration blockers, and validate decisions before they ship.
• Partner with Customer Success and GTM to plan communications, enablement, and migration support for enterprise accounts that depend on DataMesh.
• Work with one or more engineering squads, navigating dependencies and making clear scoping and sequencing decisions across a complex, interconnected backlog.
• Author clear product briefs, requirements docs, and feature specs that design and engineering can execute on without ambiguity.
