  • Discover and harness the potential of AI/ML to add unparalleled value to our product, perfectly aligning with its core value proposition and the needs of our users.
  • Forge dynamic partnerships with data scientists and engineers to conceive, refine, and validate AI/ML models that not only meet but exceed our product's goals and performance benchmarks.
  • Take the helm in orchestrating AI product lifecycle gatherings, seamlessly guiding the team through backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.

Why this role?

  • Actually change lives at an unprecedented scale: How often do you hear about apps that make people cry with joy? It is really for us a unique opportunity and privilege to be able to meaningfully improve the lives of 100,000s people - and yet to still be at the very beginning of our mission!
  • Join us at an incredible time: We're well-funded and hit product-market fit, which gives us a huge green field to work with. You'd join at the perfect time to shape what we build and how we grow, so we can create a more inclusive world.
  • Work with some of the best people in the world: We have an incredibly talented and passionate team that is a lot of fun to work with. We're still super small and have accomplished some things that were thought impossible!
  • Tackle our most interesting and impactful problems: Our team is still small, and people wear many hats. You'd jump between product, marketing, internal tools, process — participating in every phase from inception to implementation. Absolutely no boredom.
Thanks for making it here. You probably are really good at what you do and have many choices in front of you. If you are looking to grow your unique talents and leverage them for something truly meaningful, while being in a great company, you've come to the right place.
We hope you'll apply!
