About the role

  • Technical aptitude: comfortable working through product issues, navigating technical questions independently, and learning new tools and systems quickly
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools and automation platforms (Intercom workflows, scripting) to improve operations
  • Familiarity with AI, LLMs, or search technologies
