Director of Product

Constructor powers product search and discovery for some of the largest retailers in the world, like Sephora and Petco. We serve billions of requests every day, and you’ve probably seen our results somewhere and used our product without knowing it.

We have grown several hundred percent YoY for the last 2 years and have customers in every eCommerce vertical, around the world, and spanning many languages.

We’re a passionate team of technologists who love solving problems and want to make our customers’ and coworkers’ lives better. We value empathy, openness, curiosity, continuous improvement, and are excited by metrics that matter. We believe that empowering everyone in a company to do what they think is best can lead to great things.

• Provide visionary leadership to your Product Managers, fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture.
• When appropriate, hire, mentor and develop team members with product management best practices, empowering them to excel in their roles and contribute to our customers and the company’s success.
