Through an iterative development process, we work hand-in-hand with customers to gather feedback, refine features, and evolve products to address real-world challenges.

About the role

An ideal candidate meets at least the following requirements:

  • End-to-End Product Development: Led the creation of customer-facing products from ideation to launch, driving the full product lifecycle (0 to 1).
  • Cross-Functional Ownership: Acted as a product owner, seamlessly wearing multiple hats, including product management, engineering, design, and customer support, to deliver cohesive solutions.
  • Agentic Product Experience: Hands-on experience building products that leverage autonomous or agentic systems, focusing on user-driven outcomes.
  • Broad Technical Exposure: Worked across a variety of programming languages, frameworks, or platforms, showcasing adaptability and a learning mindset.
  • Experience in operating commonly used databases such as PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, and CockroachDB
  • Knowledge of service observability, analytics and reliability best practices.
