- Create interactive prototypes with AI tools to test ideas before engineering effort is committed.

Requirements
What we're looking for

- Ability to prototype independently without waiting on a designer.
- Clear, economical writing that leaves little open to interpretation.
- Strong fluency in data and product analytics.
- Excellent product taste and the ability to make complicated experiences feel simple and clear.
- An AI-native approach, with up-to-date knowledge of new tools and real curiosity about emerging developments.
- Depth in web application products and an understanding of, or keen interest in, two-sided marketplaces.
