Qualifications • Strong experience with product management and leadership. • Strong experience working with data and metrics. • Experience shipping and scaling high-quality consumer mobile products across iOS or Android. • Deep understanding of native mobile interaction patterns, platform capabilities, performance, and reliability. • Experience with rapid mobile prototyping, experimentation, and data visualization. • Experience building data-driven flywheels for iterative improvement. • Thrives in a small, agile team: has initiative and desire for ownership. • 4+ years of product management experience. Our Mission Perplexity's mission is to power curiosity. Curious people are the people who drive change in the world. Driving change is a continuous cycle of learning, building, and integrating. Learn: curious people constantly learn new things by asking more. They question the status quo in their own expertise and they constantly learn outside of it. Research is essential to them and never ending. Build: curious people make and create things, to show the world their new answers to problems no one else ever questioned. They take action on what they've learned. Makers need tools to create their products, their companies, their reality. Integrate: they must interact with the world as it is to drive change and adoption. True leaders do not simply build something and hope. They must have armies of agents and workers who can constantly work in millions of small ways. Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.
