Tech Stack
About the role
- The "Glue" of the Stack: Use n8n and AI-driven automation to ensure data flows seamlessly between Jira, Figma, Userpilot, Custify, and Google Workspace.
- Eliminate Duplication: Identify where data is being entered twice or work is being duplicated across systems; build the automations to fix it.
- AI Enablement: Proactively identify opportunities to use Gemini and other LLM tools to automate status updates, summarize feedback, or categorize Jira tickets.
- Dev-to-CEO Visibility: Build and maintain the "Pulse" of the product—automated views that show real-time progress of development initiatives for every level of the business.
- Single Source of Truth: Ensure that what is happening in the code is accurately reflected in our roadmaps and customer-facing communications without manual intervention.
- Cross-Functional Smoothing: Identify bottlenecks between the Product team and the rest of the business (e.g., Sales wanting updates, CS reporting bugs) and build the systems to automate those interactions.
- Release Playbooks: Standardize and automate the "Go-to-Market" process so that every time a developer closes a ticket, the right people in the business are notified and artifacts produced.
- Toolstack Optimization: Manage the administration of our core tools (Jira, Figma, Userpilot) and the costs associated with them.
- Documentation Librarian: Ensure that our Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC) is documented and followed, making it easy for anyone in the company to understand how we build product.
Requirements

- Communication: You can talk "developer" to the engineering team and "business" to the executive team, translating technical progress into strategic value in a visual way.
