We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nPosition Description:\nAs Chief Technology Officer, you will drive execution for the product and engineering teams and put AI at the core of everything the company builds. You will own Toptal’s full technical architecture and you will build it AI-first—utilizing best practices for agentic engineering. AI is not a workstream inside the engineer team—its core to it.\nYou will create and own the AI architecture and best practices the rest of the company utilizes. You will also own the initiatives that put agents into production. You should know how to build and fine-tune foundation models from the ground up, how to engineer best-in-class harnesses, and how to create best practices for agentic engineering that engineering teams adopt to 10x their productivity—without sacrificing quality. Your mindset will be that of a builder and an architect, someone who solves problems in the system itself. No problem will be too large or too small for you to solve yourself. You will set the technical direction and hold the cadenced meetings that turns technical strategy into working, production-ready outcomes. You will be in the design reviews and in the code, not adjacent to them. You will move fast, and you will ensure our engineering team is never the reason an initiative slows down.\nYou are the technical owner of all Toptal’s products. You will collaborate closely with Product to design infrastructure that exposes Toptal’s core business logic through modular interfaces the rest of the business can build on. Alongside a group of hands-on executives, your engineering discipline directly shapes Toptal’s growth, profitability, and operational excellence.\nYou will own resourcing and workforce planning as a doer: scoping the work, sizing the teams, planning headcount against it, defining the role and the bar for every seat. None of that is beneath the role, and we are not interested in someone who thinks these tasks can be done properly by handing it off to HR. Hiring is the highest-leverage work you do, and we want someone who is visibly excited about hiring A-players—with a sense of urgency.\nThen, you lead the team. You will set the standards, develop people against those standards, and know exactly who is meeting those standards.\nYou will be one of Toptal’s foremost experts on AI, and you will stay ahead of a field that never stops moving. You will coach engineers on agentic best practices, show the executive team what is newly possible with the new AI tooling, and push AI into every function at Toptal.\nThis role runs on high-energy execution and attention to detail. You will bring urgency to every part of it and measure yourself on outcomes. We are not looking for someone to oversee this work. We are looking for someone to drive it and get into the details.\nThis is a remote position.

It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nOne precondition runs through all of it: you conceive the strategy. You will form your own view of where engineering and AI should go, build the case, and bring the CEO a strategy to react to, not a request for direction.\nAI and agentic engineering\nOwn Toptal’s AI technology strategy and the architecture beneath it: model selection and fine-tuning, harness design, orchestration, retrieval, context engineering, tool and MCP integration, guardrails, evaluation, and cost control, exposed as primitives every team composes against.\nDeploy agentic engineering at scale against the work that runs this business: matching, vetting, onboarding, delivery, and internal operations. Own the outcomes those agents are accountable for.\nMake AI quality measurable. Own the evals, the regression suites, and the review loops, so quality here is proven rather than claimed.\nRebuild how the platform gets built and operated, raising output per engineer through AI-assisted development, review, testing, and operations. Engineers have to want this, not comply with it, and creating that pull is on you.\nTeam, resourcing, and accountability\nDecide what a team should look like now that the roles have blurred, where the product manager believes they can design and code, the engineer believes they can do product and design, and the designer believes they can code and do product.\nOwn resourcing and workforce planning: scope the roadmap into buildable work, plan headcount and sequence, write the specs, and hit time-sensitive hiring commitments.\nOwn the bar for the team: assess talent honestly, develop people against the bar, and hold it as the organization grows.\nPlatform and execution\nOwn the architecture end to end, from services and data flows to interfaces and system boundaries, and hold the standards that keep it coherent as it grows.\nOwn throughput, reliability, and the platform layer beneath them, including the AI-dependent paths where latency, drift, and provider outages are real failure modes. Own build-versus-buy, technical debt, secure-by-design architecture, responsible AI, and the engineering and AI cost structure down to inference and token spend.\nIn the first week, expect to:\nLearn Toptal’s model and platform architecture, and meet the leaders you will depend on across Engineering, Product, Industries, and Services.\nEstablish a direct, working rhythm with the CEO.\nIn the first month, expect to:\nAssess the engineering function honestly, and assess AI maturity with it: what is really in production, what is measured, what is duplicated, and what should be shut down.\nAssess the team against the bar this role requires, and bring the executive team a strategy no one asked you for.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nBe executing your own plan, with a review cadence and clear accountability at every level, and your resourcing plan presented.\nStand up the shared AI architecture and evals, and put one agentic workflow into production with a baseline and a measured result.\nIn the first six months, expect to:\nShow business impact from agents in production in at least two core workflows, with the evidence behind it.\nHave the leadership team you need, with the bar visibly raised, and throughput and reliability moving on the paths that matter most.\nIn the first year, expect to:\nRun an engineering organization recognized inside and outside Toptal as one of the most advanced in the industry, with the pull on AI now coming from engineering.\nHave AI leverage embedded in the architecture and the operating model, not living in a portfolio of pilots, and the team you built delivering against plan.\nQualifications and Job Requirements:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field is required, and an advanced degree is strongly preferred.\n15+ years of progressive engineering leadership, including significant time as a CTO or VP of Engineering, or as a direct report to one at meaningful scale.\nDeep, current, hands-on command of modern AI engineering: foundation models, agentic architectures, harness design, retrieval, context engineering, fine-tuning, and evaluation. You have shipped and operated these in production, and you know how to build and fine-tune foundation models from the ground up.\nAgentic systems deployed at scale against real business processes, with measured outcomes on cost, cycle time, quality, or revenue, and a record of retiring what did not work.\nRigor about evaluation. You can explain precisely how you knew a model, prompt, or agent change was an improvement, and you can show the evidence.\nCommand of the economics underneath it: model routing, hosted versus self-hosted, inference capacity, latency and cost budgets, and staying portable across providers.\nFurther ahead on AI than the executives around you, able to teach it, and proven at moving an organization to adopt something it was not asking for.\nYou create strategy rather than administer it, and you win arguments on evidence rather than authority, including your view on what a team should look like in the age of AI.\nProven ownership of resourcing and workforce planning, and a hiring track record you can quantify. You have made the hard calls when someone was not clearing the bar.\nCurrently hands-on. You read and write code, you can take apart a design document or an eval harness and find the flaw in it, and you command distributed systems, service architecture, data-intensive applications, and cloud infrastructure at scale.\nExperience scaling and modernizing a large existing codebase without stopping the business. You have replaced load-bearing systems in flight, not only built greenfield.\nExperience leading a globally distributed, remote team at a technology or hyper-growth company is required. A high-volume, two-sided marketplace or multi-tenant platform is a significant plus.\nOutstanding written and verbal communication skills.\nSpeed, ownership, and quality. You move with urgency, decide without perfect information, and treat everything you deliver as a reflection of yourself.\nYou must be a world-class individual contributor to thrive at Toptal.

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nPosition Description:\nAs Chief Technology Officer, you will drive execution for the product and engineering teams and put AI at the core of everything the company builds. You will own Toptal’s full technical architecture and you will build it AI-first—utilizing best practices for agentic engineering. AI is not a workstream inside the engineer team—its core to it.\nYou will create and own the AI architecture and best practices the rest of the company utilizes. You will also own the initiatives that put agents into production. You should know how to build and fine-tune foundation models from the ground up, how to engineer best-in-class harnesses, and how to create best practices for agentic engineering that engineering teams adopt to 10x their productivity—without sacrificing quality. Your mindset will be that of a builder and an architect, someone who solves problems in the system itself. No problem will be too large or too small for you to solve yourself. You will set the technical direction and hold the cadenced meetings that turns technical strategy into working, production-ready outcomes. You will be in the design reviews and in the code, not adjacent to them. You will move fast, and you will ensure our engineering team is never the reason an initiative slows down.\nYou are the technical owner of all Toptal’s products. You will collaborate closely with Product to design infrastructure that exposes Toptal’s core business logic through modular interfaces the rest of the business can build on. Alongside a group of hands-on executives, your engineering discipline directly shapes Toptal’s growth, profitability, and operational excellence.\nYou will own resourcing and workforce planning as a doer: scoping the work, sizing the teams, planning headcount against it, defining the role and the bar for every seat. None of that is beneath the role, and we are not interested in someone who thinks these tasks can be done properly by handing it off to HR. Hiring is the highest-leverage work you do, and we want someone who is visibly excited about hiring A-players—with a sense of urgency.\nThen, you lead the team. You will set the standards, develop people against those standards, and know exactly who is meeting those standards.\nYou will be one of Toptal’s foremost experts on AI, and you will stay ahead of a field that never stops moving. You will coach engineers on agentic best practices, show the executive team what is newly possible with the new AI tooling, and push AI into every function at Toptal.\nThis role runs on high-energy execution and attention to detail. You will bring urgency to every part of it and measure yourself on outcomes. We are not looking for someone to oversee this work. We are looking for someone to drive it and get into the details.\nThis is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities:\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nOne precondition runs through all of it: you conceive the strategy. You will form your own view of where engineering and AI should go, build the case, and bring the CEO a strategy to react to, not a request for direction.\nAI and agentic engineering\nOwn Toptal’s AI technology strategy and the architecture beneath it: model selection and fine-tuning, harness design, orchestration, retrieval, context engineering, tool and MCP integration, guardrails, evaluation, and cost control, exposed as primitives every team composes against.\nDeploy agentic engineering at scale against the work that runs this business: matching, vetting, onboarding, delivery, and internal operations. Own the outcomes those agents are accountable for.\nMake AI quality measurable.

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nPosition Description:\nAs Chief Technology Officer, you will drive execution for the product and engineering teams and put AI at the core of everything the company builds. You will own Toptal’s full technical architecture and you will build it AI-first—utilizing best practices for agentic engineering. AI is not a workstream inside the engineer team—its core to it.\nYou will create and own the AI architecture and best practices the rest of the company utilizes. You will also own the initiatives that put agents into production. You should know how to build and fine-tune foundation models from the ground up, how to engineer best-in-class harnesses, and how to create best practices for agentic engineering that engineering teams adopt to 10x their productivity—without sacrificing quality. Your mindset will be that of a builder and an architect, someone who solves problems in the system itself. No problem will be too large or too small for you to solve yourself. You will set the technical direction and hold the cadenced meetings that turns technical strategy into working, production-ready outcomes. You will be in the design reviews and in the code, not adjacent to them. You will move fast, and you will ensure our engineering team is never the reason an initiative slows down.\nYou are the technical owner of all Toptal’s products. You will collaborate closely with Product to design infrastructure that exposes Toptal’s core business logic through modular interfaces the rest of the business can build on. Alongside a group of hands-on executives, your engineering discipline directly shapes Toptal’s growth, profitability, and operational excellence.\nYou will own resourcing and workforce planning as a doer: scoping the work, sizing the teams, planning headcount against it, defining the role and the bar for every seat. None of that is beneath the role, and we are not interested in someone who thinks these tasks can be done properly by handing it off to HR. Hiring is the highest-leverage work you do, and we want someone who is visibly excited about hiring A-players—with a sense of urgency.\nThen, you lead the team. You will set the standards, develop people against those standards, and know exactly who is meeting those standards.\nYou will be one of Toptal’s foremost experts on AI, and you will stay ahead of a field that never stops moving. You will coach engineers on agentic best practices, show the executive team what is newly possible with the new AI tooling, and push AI into every function at Toptal.\nThis role runs on high-energy execution and attention to detail. You will bring urgency to every part of it and measure yourself on outcomes. We are not looking for someone to oversee this work. We are looking for someone to drive it and get into the details.\nThis is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities:\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nOne precondition runs through all of it: you conceive the strategy. You will form your own view of where engineering and AI should go, build the case, and bring the CEO a strategy to react to, not a request for direction.\nAI and agentic engineering\nOwn Toptal’s AI technology strategy and the architecture beneath it: model selection and fine-tuning, harness design, orchestration, retrieval, context engineering, tool and MCP integration, guardrails, evaluation, and cost control, exposed as primitives every team composes against.\nDeploy agentic engineering at scale against the work that runs this business: matching, vetting, onboarding, delivery, and internal operations. Own the outcomes those agents are accountable for.\nMake AI quality measurable. Own the evals, the regression suites, and the review loops, so quality here is proven rather than claimed.\nRebuild how the platform gets built and operated, raising output per engineer through AI-assisted development, review, testing, and operations. Engineers have to want this, not comply with it, and creating that pull is on you.\nTeam, resourcing, and accountability\nDecide what a team should look like now that the roles have blurred, where the product manager believes they can design and code, the engineer believes they can do product and design, and the designer believes they can code and do product.\nOwn resourcing and workforce planning: scope the roadmap into buildable work, plan headcount and sequence, write the specs, and hit time-sensitive hiring commitments.\nOwn the bar for the team: assess talent honestly, develop people against the bar, and hold it as the organization grows.\nPlatform and execution\nOwn the architecture end to end, from services and data flows to interfaces and system boundaries, and hold the standards that keep it coherent as it grows.\nOwn throughput, reliability, and the platform layer beneath them, including the AI-dependent paths where latency, drift, and provider outages are real failure modes.

You will manage those active opportunities alongside new incoming inquiries, knowing when to bring in specialists for deeper expertise.\nOur ideal candidate is ambitious, competitive, driven by client service, and pairs that drive with genuine curiosity about how businesses work. If you want to build real consultative selling skills in a fast-paced environment and be compensated for it, this is the team you want to be part of.\nThis is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nDiscovery and Diagnosis: You will run high energy, open-ended discovery on every inbound conversation. You will quickly establish rapport, understand what prompted the client to reach out, and uncover the business objective behind the stated request. You will use this to build the necessary sales momentum to keep clients engaged, earning the right to recommend before you recommend.\nQualify, Manage, and Win the Opportunity: You will quickly identify what is driving the need, whether there is a real opportunity, identify the metrics that matter most to the client, and who is involved in the decision. You will explain why the relevant Toptal offering fits, address the client’s concerns, and ask for commitment. You will manage deal cycles from discovery through close and maintain accurate pipeline and forecast data in our CRM.\nOwn progress after the call: You will give any necessary specialists a clear account of the client’s needs and prepare them for subsequent conversations, stay close as technical questions are resolved, and keep the client engaged through the next decision. Maintain clear next steps, timing, and blockers for each active opportunity while responding to new inbound requests.\nPortfolio Selling: Clients rarely arrive with their full set of needs articulated. You will be responsible for understanding the client’s broader growth plans, including global hiring, EOR and payroll needs, marketing and sales growth, financial, and technology challenges, and for positioning Toptal as a strategic partner rather than a single-transaction vendor.\nClient Experience: Clients are at the heart of everything we do. You will execute a client-centric approach across every interaction during pre-defined working hours, running rapid research on clients before outreach, asking focused questions to fill the gaps, and staying current on industry trends and the competitive landscape so that you bring a point of view to the conversation.\nCollaboration: You will work with your team and with cross-functional partners, including matching, delivery, HireGlobal, and Toptal’s service offerings experts, to respond promptly to high-volume inbound inquiries and to bring the right expertise into a deal at the right moment. Communicating clearly over Zoom and Slack is critical.\nGrowth and Development: Our SMB team improves individually and as a team. You will review your own calls, seek and act on feedback, and contribute what you learn back to the team.\nIn the first week, expect to:\nOnboard and integrate into Toptal.\nLearn Toptal’s model, our team members, and our story.\nBegin our 1-1 sales training covering our value proposition, discovery framework, sales process, and delivery method.\nBecome acquainted with the cross-functional teams you will work with to close new business.\nListen to recorded client calls and identify what the advisor did well and what they missed.\nIn the first month, expect to:\nComplete our personalized sales training program, including mock calls and role-play scenarios.\nRun an inbound conversation independently: identify the client’s need, explain the relevant offering and value proposition, handle common concerns, and ask for commitment.\nPrepare clear briefs to bring necessary specialist teams into opportunities.\nBegin closing new business, while exercising discretion and independent judgment.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nBe fully ramped and integrated into the team.\nComplete additional vertical-specific training.\nManage incoming leads alongside active opportunities, keep clients engaged through technical stages, and deliver against conversion and conversation-quality targets.\nMaintain a healthy, accurately forecast pipeline moving through your funnel.\nIn the first six months, expect to:\nHave a solid history of claiming and closing new business by consistently meeting or exceeding both sales and quality expectations and targets.\nIdentify where opportunities are losing momentum and improve your follow-through using evidence from your own work.\nSuggest process improvement areas to increase team efficiency and effectiveness, which may include providing consultation or advice to management on policies and procedures.\nIn the first year, expect to:\nMentor new team members, helping them learn our model and pass along standard methodologies.\nDemonstrate sustained sales and quality performance across initial conversion and continued partnership opportunities on inbound existing clients.\nBe a reference point for the team on discovery quality and on positioning the full Toptal portfolio.\nBecome a productive, collaborative, and consistent contributor to the team.\nRequired Qualifications\n2–3 years of B2B sales experience (Account Executive, Inside Sales, Sales Development, Account Representative, or a related role).\nDemonstrated experience converting inbound opportunities into paying customers at scale, owning the sale from first call to close.\nExperience coordinating parallel sales opportunities, and maintaining sales momentum while other teams complete necessary work.\nOutstanding written and verbal communication skills.\nFull availability during your working hours to take client calls.\nAbility to work and thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly growing company, managing a high volume of clients alongside competing deadlines.\nExceptional time management is key to success in this role.\nPreferred Qualifications\nSoftware, tech, or professional-services sales experience.\nExposure to a named sales methodology — MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN, Sandler, or similar.\nExperience selling more than one product or service line into the same account.\nFamiliarity with global hiring, EOR, or payroll concepts.\nFluency with modern sales tooling, including AI-assisted research, call review, and CRM workflows.\nCore Competencies\nConsultative discovery. You ask open-ended questions, listen for what is not being said, and diagnose before you prescribe. You are comfortable sitting in a question rather than rushing to a pitch.\nQualification discipline. You know the difference between interest and intent. You can articulate why a deal will close, who will sign, and what happens if the client does nothing.\nBusiness acumen. You can hold a credible conversation with a founder or business owner about growth, hiring, cost, and risk — and connect what you sell to what they are trying to achieve.\nPoint of view. You bring insight to the conversation. You are willing to respectfully reframe a client’s thinking when their stated request isn’t the best path to their goal.\nClient-centricity. You uncover and resolve client issues through value-based selling, and you are direct about fit when Toptal isn’t the right answer.\nWill to win. You are naturally competitive and looking to exceed quota, not just meet it. We provide a base salary plus uncapped commission, and we want our Client Advisors to make the most of it.\nLearn-it-all mindset. You constantly seek feedback from peers and leaders, review your own calls, and share what you learn with the team.\nOwnership. You operate as a self-directed individual contributor who takes full accountability for your pipeline and your results, while collaborating effectively with the cross-functional partners who help you win.\n","description":"<div>\n<h3 id=\"about-toptal\">About Toptal</h3>\n<p>Toptal is a global network of top talent in business, design, and technology that enables companies to scale their teams, on-demand.

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nJob Summary:\nToptal prides itself on being a data-driven organization. The primary objective of the Data Analytics Engineer is to help drive business impact and better decision making by laying the data foundation for a world-class analytics function. This role will be critical to fostering trust in our data and confidence in our decisions.\nOur Data Analytics Engineers focus on creating a data environment that is conducive to analytics and business decision making. You will own and maintain the data transformation layer. This will require data governance (quality, accuracy, coverage, security), data modeling (structure, relationships, integrity), technical communication (data dictionaries, user training), quality control (code reviews, data validation), raw data analysis, and building AI data systems and pipelines. You will be the product owner for our data warehouse and will coordinate closely with our functional Business Analysts on one side, and Data Engineers on the other.\nThis role sits within the Business Analytics Center of Excellence and will ensure trustworthy data is available for all downstream data users. Positive relationships with both Data Engineers and Business Analysts will be key, but you must also think independently and bring your own point of view. To be successful in this role you must live and breathe SQL daily and be a critical thinker, problem solver and self-starter.\nThis role requires an AI-heavy workflow and skillset. We’ve transformed our codebase to be instrumented for agentic development and continue to build our internal AI tooling, and you will be part of this process. Fluency with using LLMs and agentic coding tools is a requirement of this role. The flip side of that is the part machines cannot do: understanding our business and metrics deeply, and making decisions on what matters and what doesn’t in terms of pushing the company’s business objectives forward.\nThis is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities:\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nDesign, write, review and ship SQL models across our repositories that transform raw data into usable data products for all organizational stakeholders. Own and maintain the transformation layer.\nProactively work with the Data Engineers to ensure new data sources are added and available, and then modeled and published in our data warehouse.\nProactively monitor the data warehouse and extract insights to identify opportunities to improve data operations, data accuracy and quality, coverage, integrity, structure, and general usability.\nTurn ambiguous business asks into modeled data. Run requirements gathering with stakeholders. Establish the grain, surface the edge cases, write down the business rules, and push back when the request would produce a misleading number.\nImplement measures and processes to improve data quality, accuracy, coverage, lineage, access and retention across dozens of source production databases.\nOwn the data dictionary. Write table and column documentation that traces each field to its true origin. This documentation is consumed by AI agents as well as humans, and is an integral part of the semantic layer.\nDiagnose and resolve data incidents.\nReview your teammates’ code and provide feedback to maintain the hygiene of the data warehouse production environment.\nWork closely with Business Analysts, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and business process owners to empower data-driven decision making.\nEnable end users to better use data, understand complexities, nuances, and limitations.\nHelp make the team faster. Improve the agent playbooks, documentation, and tooling the team uses to work with the warehouse.\nIn the first week, expect to:\nOnboard and integrate into Toptal, and begin learning our history, culture and vision.\nGet your environment running end to end: GCP access, BigQuery, the Dataform repositories, and our agentic development tooling.\nShadow the teams whose data you will own to learn the core of Toptal’s operations and capabilities, including Growth, Talent Operations, Enterprise, and SMB.\nIn the first month, expect to:\nUnderstand the data generated through company operations and activities and where/how that data is stored.\nUnderstand our ETL processes, timing, tools, monitoring, roadmap, and pain points.\nUnderstand our source systems, and where they fit into our business processes.\nStart receiving and researching inbound data questions from Business Analysts.\nBuild your first Dataform pull request independently and start reviewing your teammates’ PRs.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nDevelop a mastery of our core data elements and entities.\nBegin standardizing definitions and creating SQL logic to push definitions into the data layer.\nBe a first responder for data incidents, diagnosing root cause with evidence and a methodical approach.\nBegin documenting data flows, definitions, calculation methodologies, and data elements to continuously build and improve the semantic layer.\nIn the first six months, expect to:\nContribute architectural ideas that impact our data environment and pipelines. Exercise discretion and independent judgment.\nBe an integral part of the analytics team that ensures a world-class data warehouse service to our stakeholders.\nIn the first year, expect to:\nPlay a critical part in setting up the Business Analytics Center of Excellence for success.\nBe the person the organization trusts about what a number means and whether it can be believed.\nHave made the warehouse meaningfully more usable by both analysts and AI agents.\nQualifications and Job Requirements:\nBachelor’s degree is required, preferably in Engineering or a related technical field.\n4+ years of experience in an Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, or Data Analyst role where you personally shipped production data models.\nExpert-level SQL skills and a working knowledge of Python.\nFluency with LLMs and agentic coding tools. You already use tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or equivalent as part of your daily working practice. You know where they are reliable, where they should not be used, and how to verify their output.\nExperience with cloud data warehousing, such as BigQuery or Snowflake.\nGood understanding of a modern transformation framework (dbt, Dataform, SQLMesh or similar). You understand dependency graphs, refs, incremental strategies, tests and environment promotion as concepts, not just as commands.\nGit fluency. Branching, pull requests, code review, conflict resolution and generally working with a critical production environment.\nStrong familiarity with orchestration tools such as Airflow, Cloud Composer, Dagster or Prefect.

You will own and maintain the data transformation layer.

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nJob Summary:\nAs an Enterprise Sales Executive at Toptal, you will be a key driver of growth within our AI Solutions business. In this role, you will identify, develop, and close opportunities with enterprise clients by helping them solve complex business challenges through forward-deployed AI solutions, AI software and platforms, AI services, and AI-enabled transformation.\nYou will develop tailored solutions that help clients move from AI strategy and experimentation into production, combining Toptal’s capabilities across AI Strategy & Transformation, Agentic Solutions, Data Services, AI Platforms, Industry Solutions, Joint Partner Solutions, and Managed Services to achieve measurable business outcomes.\nThis role is designed for true hunters who thrive in a high-performance, client-facing environment. It is ideal for individuals who have successfully sold enterprise AI solutions and are passionate about building a book of business from the ground up, forging executive relationships, and creating long-term client value. Success in this role is measured by your ability to convert new enterprise relationships into durable revenue and establish Toptal as a core AI services provider embedded in your clients’ most critical initiatives.\nEnterprise AI has shifted rapidly from experimentation to execution. Companies are investing in models, agents, AI platforms, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled applications, but many are struggling to translate those investments into production systems and measurable business outcomes.\nThe challenge is no longer simply selecting an AI model or platform. Enterprises must identify the right workflows, connect AI to their proprietary data and knowledge, integrate existing systems, build and deploy agents and applications, establish evaluation and control frameworks, drive adoption, and continuously operate and improve AI in production.\nToptal brings together world-class AI and domain talent, forward-deployed solution delivery, AI platforms and capabilities, strategic technology partners, expert-in-the-loop operations, and managed services to help enterprises move from AI promise to production.\nThis role exists to convert that market opportunity into new enterprise relationships and position Toptal as a strategic partner for companies deploying AI across their organizations.\nThis is a remote position with significant client-facing fieldwork across the US.

As relationships mature, accounts become more complex, with deeper engagement across multiple business units, workflows, technology platforms, and senior executive relationships.\nThese accounts demand a highly consultative, strategic approach that includes navigating cross-functional priorities, understanding the client’s AI and technology environment, aligning solutions to evolving business objectives, and demonstrating credibility at the C-suite level. Success will require the ability to adapt your engagement style to the maturity and complexity of each account while consistently driving measurable client value and long-term growth.\nOwn and build a portfolio of enterprise AI accounts, with direct accountability for new logo acquisition, revenue growth, and client outcomes.\nProspect, pitch, negotiate, and close new opportunities in close partnership with our Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), while expanding the relationships you establish.\nDefine and execute account strategy, including opportunity creation, pipeline development, and multi-year growth planning.\nLead AI solution development and deal execution in partnership with AI Services leadership, Industry GMs, Practice Leaders, Pursuits, Partnerships, and

where we can help organizations move AI into production.\nBegin prospecting and actively engaging target accounts within your portfolio.\nMeet with SDRs, Client Partners, and cross-functional team members to align on joint account strategies.\nCollaborate with Pursuits and Delivery teams to understand how we design AI engagements.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nExercise discretion and

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nJob Summary:\nAs an Enterprise Sales Executive at Toptal, you will be a key driver of growth within our Consumer Products and Services (CP&S) industry vertical. In this role, you will identify, develop, and close opportunities with enterprise clients by helping them solve complex business challenges across a broad range of capabilities, including technology, marketing, management consulting, and AI-enabled transformation. You will develop tailored solutions that help clients accelerate strategic initiatives and achieve measurable business outcomes.\nThis role is designed for true hunters who thrive in a high-performance, client-facing environment. It is ideal for individuals who are passionate about building a book of business from the ground up, forging executive relationships, and creating long-term client value. Success in this role is measured by your ability to convert new enterprise relationships into durable revenue and to establish Toptal as a core services provider embedded in your clients’ most critical initiatives.\nThis is a remote position with concentrated fieldwork across the US East Coast. Applicants who reside in-market on the East Coast, or within commutable distance of a major East Coast metropolitan area, are strongly preferred. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Applicants must be authorized to work in the US at the time of hire. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nConsumer products and retail organizations are under pressure to move faster than their current operating models allow. AI has shifted from experimentation to execution, and companies across this sector are actively rebuilding how work gets done, across brand and marketing, commercial, supply chain, and digital commerce. Toptal’s CP&S vertical already partners with some of the largest consumer products organizations in the world on exactly this work.\nThis role exists to bring dedicated senior coverage to the US East Coast, where our client concentration and opportunity density are highest, and to convert that density into new enterprise relationships.

Once you have signed net new customers, you will partner with Client Partners to deepen and expand those strategic relationships over time. Net new accounts typically involve mid-level stakeholders across one or two business units and call for a disciplined, transactional approach, matching skills to immediate needs with speed and precision. As relationships mature, accounts become more complex, with deeper engagement across multiple business units and senior executive relationships. These accounts demand a highly consultative, strategic approach that includes navigating cross-functional priorities, aligning to evolving client business objectives, and demonstrating credibility at the C-suite level.

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nPosition Description:\nAs SVP, Product, you will shape the vision as to where Toptal’s products and platforms go next and then drive the execution to build them. This is the most senior product role in the company. You will report to the Chief Executive Officer, sit on the executive team, and work collaboratively with our Engineering, Design, Finance, Marketing, New Businesses, Professional Services, and Customer leaders. AI is not a line item on your roadmap. It is the roadmap.\nYou should be Toptal’s foremost expert on what AI means for products and platforms. That means real depth in fine-tuning and post-training, agent design and evaluation, and the economics of running models in production, along with the judgment to know which applies to us. Work directly with our AI researchers rather than through them. We expect both the AI agenda and the product strategy to originate with you. We will react to your plan rather than hand you ours.\nThis is a hands-on role. You will write your own specs and pull your own data. When you think an agent could take over a piece of work, you will build a rough version and find out whether it holds up before anyone budgets for it. You will sit in product reviews and say what you actually think. We move fast, and we need Product setting the pace. You will own and set the standards for the hiring bar for the product team, bringing in talent that will advance Toptal to the next level.\nYour remit runs across the business: the core platform, the talent and client experiences, the internal systems that run it, the products we take to market, and the data and AI platform underneath them. You will work hand in hand with Engineering on the platform all of it runs on, fold acquisitions and new products into the portfolio, and know growth marketing cold, because how a product reaches the market is part of building it.\nProduct is yours to shape at blazing speed: scoping, sizing the teams, planning headcount, and defining the role and the bar for every seat. None of that is beneath the role, and we are not interested in someone who thinks these tasks can be done properly by handing them off to HR. Hiring is the highest-leverage work you do, and we want someone who is visibly excited about landing an A player and treats an open seat as urgent. Your own dedication and hard work will set the tone, and the people you bring in should be inspired to do the best work of their careers on this team. We are looking for the person who will define what an AI-native product organization looks like and then run it successfully.\nThis is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities:\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nAI and agentic product\nOwn Toptal’s AI product strategy: where agents and models belong across the marketplace, the talent and client experiences, our internal systems, and the products we take to market, along with the business outcomes they carry.\nDecide what we build with AI and what we do not, including build-versus-buy on models and tooling and the packaging and pricing of AI-enabled products.\nMake AI quality measurable through evals, acceptance bars, and review loops, and partner with Engineering on the platform as its most demanding customer.\nRebuild how Product works using AI, raising the output and judgment of every product manager through AI-assisted discovery, research, prototyping, and analysis. Product managers have to want this rather than comply with it, and creating that pull is on you.\nPortfolio and operating model\nOwn the vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for the whole portfolio: what we build, what we sunset, and how investment is distributed across growth, platform, and operational leverage.\nEstablish the product operating model and the metrics behind it, so decisions are made on evidence and user research rather than opinion.\nOwn the product integration of acquisitions and new products, and act as a senior voice of the customer for both talent and clients.\nTeam and accountability\nDecide what a product team should look like now that the roles have blurred, where the product manager believes they can design and code, the engineer believes they can do product and design, and the designer believes they can code and do product.\nOwn resourcing and workforce planning, and hit time-sensitive hiring commitments.\nReview the product work directly, develop people against a clear bar, and raise it as the organization grows.\nIn the first week, expect to:\nWork to get up to speed with how the organization runs, including how our operational frameworks work.\nBegin building relationships with the CEO, the executive team, and your direct reports.\nBegin learning Toptal’s platform architecture, marketplace dynamics, internal tooling, and current AI initiatives and capabilities.\nIn the first month, expect to:\nAssess the current state of the Product organization and its AI maturity: its people, its roadmap, its rituals, and where the gaps are, including the team against the bar this role requires.\nBring the executive team a product strategy no one asked you for.\nBecome acquainted with the full product portfolio, the company’s goals, and those you will partner with.\nEstablish a shared view with the CEO and the executive team of the company’s priorities and how product supports them.\nStart collaborating closely with your product teams.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nOwn the product portfolio, its strategy, and its roadmap, and be executing your own plan with at least one AI-enabled capability already in production and measured.\nPresent your resourcing plan and a clear point of view to the executive team on where product investment should concentrate, what should be deprioritized, and why.\nEstablish or refine the product operating model: planning cadence, prioritization framework, and the metrics the organization will be held to, with the trust of the peers and teams you work with most closely.\nIn the first six months, expect to:\nShow business impact from AI-enabled products in at least two core surfaces, with the evidence behind it, and visible progress against the top portfolio priorities measured against the metrics you defined.\nHave the right leadership team in place, with a clear plan to close any remaining gaps.\nBe inspiring and mentoring the teams you work with, upleveling how the organization brainstorms, collaborates, and executes, and charting a clear path for scaling Product’s impact.\nIn the first year, expect to:\nRun a product organization recognized inside and outside Toptal as one of the most advanced in the industry, with AI leverage embedded in the portfolio and the operating model rather than living in a set of pilots.\nHave built an exceptional product team doing the best work of their careers, with a record of building impactful products in a timely and elegant fashion.\nDeliver on your roadmap priorities and promises, with a demonstrable link between product investment and business results, and Product established as a trusted, high-leverage function that the rest of the company plans around.\nQualifications and Job Requirements:\nBachelor’s degree is required, preferably in a technical discipline (Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems). Masters is strongly preferred.\nAt least 15 years of proven software Product Management experience.\nAt least 8 years of experience leading Product organizations, including experience leading other product leaders (managing managers).\nProven ability to raise the level of a product organization through the people you hire and develop.\nProven ownership of resourcing and workforce planning, with a hiring track record you can quantify. You have made the hard calls when someone was not clearing the bar.\nExperience owning an entire product portfolio at a high-growth technology company, with accountability for business outcomes and not solely delivery.\nDemonstrated success setting product strategy at the executive level and translating it into an executable roadmap across multiple teams and domains.\nExperience leading AI-enabled products, with a focus on delivering measurable business outcomes.\nDeep, hands-on command of modern AI as a product discipline: agentic architectures, harness and orchestration design, retrieval, context engineering, fine-tuning, and evaluation, along with the economics of running models in production.

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nPosition Description:\nAs SVP, Product, you will shape the vision as to where Toptal’s products and platforms go next and then drive the execution to build them. This is the most senior product role in the company. You will report to the Chief Executive Officer, sit on the executive team, and work collaboratively with our Engineering, Design, Finance, Marketing, New Businesses, Professional Services, and Customer leaders. AI is not a line item on your roadmap. It is the roadmap.\nYou should be Toptal’s foremost expert on what AI means for products and platforms. That means real depth in fine-tuning and post-training, agent design and evaluation, and the economics of running models in production, along with the judgment to know which applies to us. Work directly with our AI researchers rather than through them. We expect both the AI agenda and the product strategy to originate with you. We will react to your plan rather than hand you ours.\nThis is a hands-on role. You will write your own specs and pull your own data. When you think an agent could take over a piece of work, you will build a rough version and find out whether it holds up before anyone budgets for it. You will sit in product reviews and say what you actually think. We move fast, and we need Product setting the pace. You will own and set the standards for the hiring bar for the product team, bringing in talent that will advance Toptal to the next level.\nYour remit runs across the business: the core platform, the talent and client experiences, the internal systems that run it, the products we take to market, and the data and AI platform underneath them. You will work hand in hand with Engineering on the platform all of it runs on, fold acquisitions and new products into the portfolio, and know growth marketing cold, because how a product reaches the market is part of building it.\nProduct is yours to shape at blazing speed: scoping, sizing the teams, planning headcount, and defining the role and the bar for every seat. None of that is beneath the role, and we are not interested in someone who thinks these tasks can be done properly by handing them off to HR. Hiring is the highest-leverage work you do, and we want someone who is visibly excited about landing an A player and treats an open seat as urgent. Your own dedication and hard work will set the tone, and the people you bring in should be inspired to do the best work of their careers on this team. We are looking for the person who will define what an AI-native product organization looks like and then run it successfully.\nThis is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities:\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nAI and agentic product\nOwn Toptal’s AI product strategy: where agents and models belong across the marketplace, the talent and client experiences, our internal systems, and the products we take to market, along with the business outcomes they carry.\nDecide what we build with AI and what we do not, including build-versus-buy on models and tooling and the packaging and pricing of AI-enabled products.\nMake AI quality measurable through evals, acceptance bars, and review loops, and partner with Engineering on the platform as its most demanding customer.\nRebuild how Product works using AI, raising the output and judgment of every product manager through AI-assisted discovery, research, prototyping, and analysis. Product managers have to want this rather than comply with it, and creating that pull is on you.\nPortfolio and operating model\nOwn the vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for the whole portfolio: what we build, what we sunset, and how investment is distributed across growth, platform, and operational leverage.\nEstablish the product operating model and the metrics behind it, so decisions are made on evidence and user research rather than opinion.\nOwn the product integration of acquisitions and new products, and act as a senior voice of the customer for both talent and clients.\nTeam and accountability\nDecide what a product team should look like now that the roles have blurred, where the product manager believes they can design and code, the engineer believes they can do product and design, and the designer believes they can code and do product.\nOwn resourcing and workforce planning, and hit time-sensitive hiring commitments.\nReview the product work directly, develop people against a clear bar, and raise it as the organization grows.\nIn the first week, expect to:\nWork to get up to speed with how the organization runs, including how our operational frameworks work.\nBegin building relationships with the CEO, the executive team, and your direct reports.\nBegin learning Toptal’s platform architecture, marketplace dynamics, internal tooling, and current AI initiatives and capabilities.\nIn the first month, expect to:\nAssess the current state of the Product organization and its AI maturity: its people, its roadmap, its rituals, and where the gaps are, including the team against the bar this role requires.\nBring the executive team a product strategy no one asked you for.\nBecome acquainted with the full product portfolio, the company’s goals, and those you will partner with.\nEstablish a shared view with the CEO and the executive team of the company’s priorities and how product supports them.\nStart collaborating closely with your product teams.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nOwn the product portfolio, its strategy, and its roadmap, and be executing your own plan with at least one AI-enabled capability already in production and measured.\nPresent your resourcing plan and a clear point of view to the executive team on where product investment should concentrate, what should be deprioritized, and why.\nEstablish or refine the product operating model: planning cadence, prioritization framework, and the metrics the organization will be held to, with the trust of the peers and teams you work with most closely.\nIn the first six months, expect to:\nShow business impact from AI-enabled products in at least two core surfaces, with the evidence behind it, and visible progress against the top portfolio priorities measured against the metrics you defined.\nHave the right leadership team in place, with a clear plan to close any remaining gaps.\nBe inspiring and mentoring the teams you work with, upleveling how the organization brainstorms, collaborates, and executes, and charting a clear path for scaling Product’s impact.\nIn the first year, expect to:\nRun a product organization recognized inside and outside Toptal as one of the most advanced in the industry, with AI leverage embedded in the portfolio and the operating model rather than living in a set of pilots.\nHave built an exceptional product team doing the best work of their careers, with a record of building impactful products in a timely and elegant fashion.\nDeliver on your roadmap priorities and promises, with a demonstrable link between product investment and business results, and Product established as a trusted, high-leverage function that the rest of the company plans around.\nQualifications and Job Requirements:\nBachelor’s degree is required, preferably in a technical discipline (Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems).

With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.\nWe take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.\nPosition Description:\nAs SVP, Product, you will shape the vision as to where Toptal’s products and platforms go next and then drive the execution to build them. This is the most senior product role in the company. You will report to the Chief Executive Officer, sit on the executive team, and work collaboratively with our Engineering, Design, Finance, Marketing, New Businesses, Professional Services, and Customer leaders. AI is not a line item on your roadmap. It is the roadmap.\nYou should be Toptal’s foremost expert on what AI means for products and platforms. That means real depth in fine-tuning and post-training, agent design and evaluation, and the economics of running models in production, along with the judgment to know which applies to us. Work directly with our AI researchers rather than through them. We expect both the AI agenda and the product strategy to originate with you. We will react to your plan rather than hand you ours.\nThis is a hands-on role. You will write your own specs and pull your own data. When you think an agent could take over a piece of work, you will build a rough version and find out whether it holds up before anyone budgets for it. You will sit in product reviews and say what you actually think. We move fast, and we need Product setting the pace. You will own and set the standards for the hiring bar for the product team, bringing in talent that will advance Toptal to the next level.\nYour remit runs across the business: the core platform, the talent and client experiences, the internal systems that run it, the products we take to market, and the data and AI platform underneath them. You will work hand in hand with Engineering on the platform all of it runs on, fold acquisitions and new products into the portfolio, and know growth marketing cold, because how a product reaches the market is part of building it.\nProduct is yours to shape at blazing speed: scoping, sizing the teams, planning headcount, and defining the role and the bar for every seat. None of that is beneath the role, and we are not interested in someone who thinks these tasks can be done properly by handing them off to HR. Hiring is the highest-leverage work you do, and we want someone who is visibly excited about landing an A player and treats an open seat as urgent. Your own dedication and hard work will set the tone, and the people you bring in should be inspired to do the best work of their careers on this team. We are looking for the person who will define what an AI-native product organization looks like and then run it successfully.\nThis is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.\nResponsibilities:\nThe following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.\nAI and agentic product\nOwn Toptal’s AI product strategy: where agents and models belong across the marketplace, the talent and client experiences, our internal systems, and the products we take to market, along with the business outcomes they carry.\nDecide what we build with AI and what we do not, including build-versus-buy on models and tooling and the packaging and pricing of AI-enabled products.\nMake AI quality measurable through evals, acceptance bars, and review loops, and partner with Engineering on the platform as its most demanding customer.\nRebuild how Product works using AI, raising the output and judgment of every product manager through AI-assisted discovery, research, prototyping, and analysis. Product managers have to want this rather than comply with it, and creating that pull is on you.\nPortfolio and operating model\nOwn the vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for the whole portfolio: what we build, what we sunset, and how investment is distributed across growth, platform, and operational leverage.\nEstablish the product operating model and the metrics behind it, so decisions are made on evidence and user research rather than opinion.\nOwn the product integration of acquisitions and new products, and act as a senior voice of the customer for both talent and clients.\nTeam and accountability\nDecide what a product team should look like now that the roles have blurred, where the product manager believes they can design and code, the engineer believes they can do product and design, and the designer believes they can code and do product.\nOwn resourcing and workforce planning, and hit time-sensitive hiring commitments.\nReview the product work directly, develop people against a clear bar, and raise it as the organization grows.\nIn the first week, expect to:\nWork to get up to speed with how the organization runs, including how our operational frameworks work.\nBegin building relationships with the CEO, the executive team, and your direct reports.\nBegin learning Toptal’s platform architecture, marketplace dynamics, internal tooling, and current AI initiatives and capabilities.\nIn the first month, expect to:\nAssess the current state of the Product organization and its AI maturity: its people, its roadmap, its rituals, and where the gaps are, including the team against the bar this role requires.\nBring the executive team a product strategy no one asked you for.\nBecome acquainted with the full product portfolio, the company’s goals, and those you will partner with.\nEstablish a shared view with the CEO and the executive team of the company’s priorities and how product supports them.\nStart collaborating closely with your product teams.\nIn the first three months, expect to:\nOwn the product portfolio, its strategy, and its roadmap, and be executing your own plan with at least one AI-enabled capability already in production and measured.\nPresent your resourcing plan and a clear point of view to the executive team on where product investment should concentrate, what should be deprioritized, and why.\nEstablish or refine the product operating model: planning cadence, prioritization framework, and the metrics the organization will be held to, with the trust of the peers and teams you work with most closely.\nIn the first six months, expect to:\nShow business impact from AI-enabled products in at least two core surfaces, with the evidence behind it, and visible progress against the top portfolio priorities measured against the metrics you defined.\nHave the right leadership team in place, with a clear plan to close any remaining gaps.\nBe inspiring and mentoring the teams you work with, upleveling how the organization brainstorms, collaborates, and executes, and charting a clear path for scaling Product’s impact.\nIn the first year, expect to:\nRun a product organization recognized inside and outside Toptal as one of the most advanced in the industry, with AI leverage embedded in the portfolio and the operating model rather than living in a set of pilots.\nHave built an exceptional product team doing the best work of their careers, with a record of building impactful products in a timely and elegant fashion.\nDeliver on your roadmap priorities and promises, with a demonstrable link between product investment and business results, and Product established as a trusted, high-leverage function that the rest of the company plans around.\nQualifications and Job Requirements:\nBachelor’s degree is required, preferably in a technical discipline (Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems). Masters is strongly preferred.\nAt least 15 years of proven software Product Management experience.\nAt least 8 years of experience leading Product organizations, including experience leading other product leaders (managing managers).\nProven ability to raise the level of a product organization through the people you hire and develop.\nProven ownership of resourcing and workforce planning, with a hiring track record you can quantify.

You have shipped these yourself.\nFurther ahead on AI than the executives around you, able to teach it, and proven at moving an organization to adopt something it was not asking for.\nGrowth marketing fluency. You understand acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention well enough to build for them.\nExperience with marketplace, platform, or two-sided business models is a strong plus.\nPrior experience working as a Software Engineer is a strong plus.\nComfortable working with SQL or spreadsheets to analyze data, as well as conducting research with internal and external users.\nAbility to creatively craft solutions through data and a user-centric approach.\nBe meticulous and have a high bar for quality when writing user stories, brainstorming technical approaches, and testing a feature before it is released.\nBe humble, willing to learn, and do whatever is needed to help us accomplish our goals.\nOutstanding written and verbal communication skills.\nExperience using agile development methodologies with globally distributed teams and the ability to keep up with a fast-paced and global company.\nAbility to work in a fast-paced, rapidly growing company and handle a wide variety of challenges, deadlines, and a diverse array of contacts.\nYou must be a world-class individual contributor to thrive at Toptal, and you will not be here just to tell other people what to do.\nEssential Job Functions\nRegularly and reliably attend scheduled virtual team meetings on camera.\nWork independently with minimal supervision.\nUse all required digital collaboration tools.\nPrioritize and self-manage workflows and deadlines.\nUS FLSA Classification: Full-Time/Exempt\n","hostedUrl":"https://jobs.lever.co/toptal/c9e20a7d-6559-4c72-bdfa-2922cda350a6","applyUrl":"https://jobs.lever.co/toptal/c9e20a7d-6559-4c72-bdfa-2922cda350a6/apply"}]
