You care deeply about product craft and customer experience, and you know how to build products that feel intuitive, useful, and differentiated.
You bring strong product instinct and use data and experimentation to pressure‑test decisions and improve outcomes. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces, bringing clarity, setting direction, and influencing across teams and leadership.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of AI innovation, shaping how millions of people interact with visual and multimodal search, and pushing new experiences into production, learning quickly from real usage, and iterating fast.

Translate advances in AI and machine learning into meaningful, high quality customer facing product experiences
Operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, defining problems, setting direction, and creating clarity across teams
Design and lead rigorous experimentation (A/B testing, flighting), defining hypotheses and success metrics and using results to guide decisions
Use product telemetry and data analysis to understand user behavior, diagnose issues, and identify opportunities to improve engagement, quality, and retention
Partner deeply with engineering, design, data science, and research teams to deliver intuitive, high‑quality user experiences
Drive alignment across senior stakeholders and partner teams, influencing without authority to resolve ambiguity and deliver outcomes across complex dependencies
Present product strategy, insights, and recommendations to senior leadership, shaping product direction and investment decisions
Champion product quality and craft, ensuring experiences are intuitive, engaging, and differentiated for customers.
