• Digging deep to reproduce and identify root causes to share with engineers and product.
• Developing a deep empathy for our users and advocating for their experience.
• Contributing to a product that our customers genuinely love because it solves real, everyday problems for busy families and those with neurodivergent kids (the ADHD and Autism communities are among our biggest fans)
