Build and lead the team: Hire the initial engineers for the Growth Platform’s first team.
Mentor engineers, create career growth opportunities, and help scale the organization as scope expands

Experience at a product-led growth company during a period of multi-product expansion •
Background in personalization systems, recommendation engines, or ML-driven content selection •
Familiarity with using AI for quality assurance, brand consistency, or content governance at scale •
