• Partner closely with product, engineering, and design to shape the product vision, work through tradeoffs, and prioritize what gets built.
• Partner actively with TPMs and eng managers to own the complete product lifecycle, from launch through ongoing releases for your specific areas.

• MS/BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Proven ability to manage all aspects of a product throughout its lifecycle.
