You will work with our early beta-testing cohorts of families, our CEO and CTO, and any advisors or advisory board to generate clickable prototypes or user journeys for early feedback and iteration.  You will then work with our CTO and other product and engineering team members on the product roadmap, and help work to translate the product roadmap into epics and sprints.
