• Drive performance reliability and observability with full ownership and proactivity
• Shape the product culture and push the entire team toward excellence

Youll have the autonomy to make decisions the freedom to experiment and the responsibility to deliver results. This is not a role where you execute someone elses plan youll be co-creating the product strategy.
