• Remain in contact with key customers, understand their current needs, and anticipate their future ones
• Balance feature requests against customer size and demand, including bugs

• Create and run a customer advisory board

You have

• 5+ years of product leadership experience in SaaS or IaaS running products, preferably with API driven products
• A  background in engineering with an understanding of UI/UX best practices, scalability, etc.
