- You will work closely with designers and product managers throughout all stages of the product cycle. You should have an insatiable hunger for learning new things, and a strong appetite for iterating quickly, measuring and learning from your work. If you’re a critical thinker with a good design sense, a strong technical background, and an eye for making things better, then this is the role for you.
