Our product team collaborates closely with expert engineering, design and marketing teams to drive product and revenue growth.

• Ability to work with tech, design, QA, support, revenue and management teams to build and ship great products, experience operating in an agile environment a plus

• Excellent communication skills and proven ability to drive alignment and execution from a team, both in person and in collaborating with remote team members

The Recruiting Process: 

After the initial screening process with our recruiting team and the hiring manager, we’ll invite you to 2-3 interviews with other members of the product team, including your potential peers and senior management. This is an opportunity to get to know each other and identify if the role is aligned with your skillset and career goals. Typically, candidates we move forward with understand their career goals and have spent a few minutes reviewing our products and the caliber of our team on LinkedIn to get a sense of who we are and what we do. 

The interviews may be held remotely or in person, and include some behavioral and problem-solving questions. We may follow up with a take home assignment that lets you show off your skillset. This exercise doesn’t require any prior company specific knowledge, should take no more than a few hours to complete and is representative of the work we do every day. 

We also typically check 1-2 references from former managers to hear about your impact firsthand from someone you’ve worked with, especially to confirm fit with our culture and ability to drive impact in a fast paced startup environment. We also will make time for any and all questions you have about the role, your impact and trajectory, should you join our team.
