  • Experience running A/B tests (or similar product experiments) and iterating in a data‑driven way
  • Professional experience with B2C / consumer‑facing products
  • Enough data literacy to sanity-check whether a change actually moved the needle
  • Shipped user-facing products where UI/UX quality was a first-class concern
  • Bachelor’s degree or above
