- Generating ever more value for our customers and continuously decreasing the friction for new customers to sign up with us will be the center of your attention and as such you will be one of the key people driving our growth. You will decide which 1% of the opportunities ahead of us are worth pursuing.
- You will be the voice of the customer in the organization and share your learning with you direct team in engineering as well as with the wider company in settings such as all-hands, company off sites and sporadically in "deep dive" presentations.

- Your ongoing responsibilities will involve monitoring the market and competitive landscape, including factors such as weather, developments in deep learning, and new market opportunities.
