How You'll Work

You are expected to use agentic tools like Claude Code, Hermes, and OpenClaw to build loops that automate the product management cycle - gathering feedback, developing prototypes, running tests, and shipping to production - both on your own and with your team.

You go where customers are to learn. That means showing up at events on nights and weekends when needed - farmers markets, parent events, and community gatherings - and doing the work to understand customers firsthand.
