• Evidence of growing product usage or a technical community with measurable results.

• Technical fluency to demonstrate AI and machine learning products and speak credibly with researchers, including audiences in robotics.

• Experience with growth or community work in addition to brand or communications marketing; early-stage startup experience is valuable.
