Work closely with a large team of engineers to prioritize the backlog and ensure technical requirements align with business goals.
Collaborate with leadership to streamline the product development process.
Ensure the Predictions Exchange continues to scale as the backbone of our operations.
Requirements:
Proven Execution: You are a strong Individual Contributor with a track record of "getting things done" independently.
