Most companies divide product work among three people:

• A product manager decides what to build.
• A designer decides how it should work.
• An engineer builds it.

We’re looking for someone who can move across all three.

You’ll understand the problem, design a simple solution, and build it into the product. You’ll work closely with our team and users, but you won’t need someone to translate every idea into detailed requirements for you.
