## About the role

Own product work across the web console, APIs, CLI, GitHub integrations, billing and usage, permissions, docs, and internal tools. Turn ambiguous customer pain into clear product and technical plans, then carry them through design, implementation, rollout, and measurement.

## What they're looking for

- Staff-level product engineering judgment across backend behavior, API shape, data model, UI flow, and operational reality
- Experience owning meaningful projects from ambiguity to production, including sequencing, tradeoffs, rollout, and follow-through
- Strong technical depth in backend, full-stack, platform, infrastructure, or developer-tooling systems
- Excellent debugging instincts across application code, APIs, databases, background jobs, cloud infrastructure, observability, and third-party integrations
- Developer empathy for clear APIs, intuitive CLIs, useful docs, actionable errors, and workflows that feel fast and trustworthy
- High emotional intelligence: you communicate clearly, handle disagreement constructively, and help a remote team make better decisions
