• You absorb founders’ big-picture goals, map them to concrete roadmaps, and rally engineering to deliver features that advance the company’s strategy
• You take initiative to align the team, ignite momentum, and communicate actively so everyone—from developers to execs—moves in lockstep
• You monitor analytics, performance metrics, and A/B or canary tests and then re-prioritize the backlog based on evidence

• Retrospectives, velocity digs, and tooling tweaks energize you to boost quality and speed
• Clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, multi-functional teams

• Coordinate releases with DevOps, CI/CD, and feature flags
• Use analytics and customer feedback to guide backlog reprioritization
