How to use this

If you're applying: Product and Engineering hold 7 of the 10 open roles. For Product, the monetization roles ask for pricing, paywall and subscription experience, and the Kids role asks for gaming or kid-product experience plus SQL. For Engineering, the platform roles ask for CI/CD, developer tooling and AI-assisted development. The newest openings are Head of Accounting, Senior Recruiting Partner and IT Lead, all opened since late September 2026.

If you're selling or recruiting: There are two two-role clusters: consumer subscription and pricing (Product, San Francisco) and internal platform and AI tooling (Engineering, remote). The IT Lead posting also covers AI account governance. The monetization roles have been open since April and October 2025 and the 0→1 Product Leader since February 2024, so treat them as long-running searches. The freshest needs are in Finance, People and IT. The School Partnerships role is a 5-month, success-fee field contract in Customer Experience.
