What you will do

• Take ownership of the product vision, developer experience, and roadmap for app performance, including initiatives that strengthen the performance story through capabilities such as AI-driven insights.

• Work in close partnership with teams involved in performance efforts, coordinating with engineering, marketing, legal, UX, and developer relations.
• Help evolve the performance narrative for new agentic development approaches and workflows.
• Address problems by working across regions, product areas, and functions when needed to move solutions forward.

• Experience with Android or iOS mobile application development.

• A master’s degree in a technology or business discipline is preferred.
• At least three years of experience in a business-focused function such as marketing, business operations, or consulting is preferred.
• At least three years of experience preparing and delivering technical presentations to executive audiences is preferred.
• At least two years of experience in software development or engineering is preferred.
• At least two years of experience working across functions such as engineering, UX/UI, sales, finance, and other stakeholders is preferred.
• The role is described as mid-level, meaning the successful candidate should be able to drive progress, solve problems, and mentor more junior colleagues while bringing deeper applied knowledge in the area.
• English proficiency is required for all roles unless the posting says otherwise.
