• Prototype with AI and emerging tools to improve speed, quality, and creative range
• Collaborate with engineers, marketers, product designers, and leadership to align on strategy and ship cohesive work

• Manage timelines and feedback loops to keep projects moving and quality high
• Give and receive thoughtful critique, and help maintain a high bar across the team
• You care deeply about clarity, elegance, and reducing noise. Your work elevates through subtlety, not spectacle. You know when to break things and when not to
