- Experience applying creative first-principles reasoning to solve ambiguous problems
- Experience leading and presenting analytics results and enjoy data storytelling to influence engineering teams and leaders
- Experience driving an area as an individual contributor and thought leader
- Use A/B experiments and causal inference to determine success of product feature launches.
Responsibilities
- Establish success metrics for Engine Systems performance -- e.g. what systems performance metrics matter to the end-users? How are Engine performance affecting user engagement and monetization?
