What makes this role particularly exciting is the direct impact you'll have on both product development and customer success. You'll work closely with the product management team to shape Taktile's roadmap based on customer needs. The company offers excellent benefits, including top-market compensation, equity, self-development budget, and the chance to work with experienced mentors in a flat organizational structure.

Taktile is backed by prestigious investors including Y Combinator and Index Ventures, and counts the founders of Looker, GitHub, and Datadog among its angels. The company maintains a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, actively working to combat discrimination and welcome talent from all backgrounds. This role offers a unique opportunity to join a high-growth startup at a crucial stage, making a significant impact while working with cutting-edge technology in the decision automation space.
