Requirements
- Practical, hands-on experience with multi-sided network and matching challenges - you have built or owned a product where supply-demand matching was a core problem, not a feature
- Practical experience on the supplier side of a network: onboarding, integrations, configurations, and the commercial dynamics that shape supplier behaviour
- Commercial and technical depth. You understand how the network creates value for each side, and you can engage credibly with engineers on architecture, API design, and data infrastructure
- Experience owning API-first products and third-party integrations at scale
- 5+ years owning complex B2B software products end-to-end, with clear accountability for outcomes - not just delivery
- You build rapid prototypes yourself - with AI-assisted tools, LLM-assisted development, or code - as a first instinct for testing ideas
- Strong analytical instinct: you define the metrics, build the view, read the data, and act on it - without waiting for a data team to hand it to you
- Excellent judgment in a complex multi-stakeholder environment - where different sides of the network have competing interests
Nice to Have
- Practical involvement in developing AI models for matching, ranking, or recommendation challenges
- Experience with order management, invoicing, or reconciliation systems
- Familiarity with rules engine design or configurable workflow systems
- Experience in B2B SaaS, API products, marketplaces, or multi-sided platform businesses
- Comfort thinking in feedback loops, evals, and system-level instrumentation - not just user stories
- Founder background, or early employee at a startup that scaled materially. You've killed or radically changed something you personally believed in, and can explain why
- Domain knowledge in automotive aftermarket, collision repair, or insurance claims
- Experience scaling products across multiple geographies or customer segments
- Experience building or operating products with meaningful agentic or automation components
