The work can involve both business-to-business and consumer-facing models, with exposure to e-commerce and payment domains.

Required experience includes product management for software products, product development in collaboration with engineers and designers, defining and improving fundamental problems through data analysis and user interviews, and project management. Preferred experience includes sales, design, or development; launching a new business or growing a product at an operating company; practical agile or Scrum development; extracting and analyzing data using SQL or similar tools; and knowledge of e-commerce or payments.
