  • Experience managing complex technical projects or teams
  • Strong judgment around product, research, and technical trade-offs
  • Ability to structure execution across ambiguous or high-stakes efforts
  • Excellent communication across technical and strategic contexts
  • Alignment with AE’s mission and long-term thinking

  • You thrive in unstructured environments and take full ownership of results.
