PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

What We Do

For us, product management means thinking about the behaviors of users and systematically questioning assumptions to find reasons, gaps, options, and solutions to create an impact on gamers, developers, and creators. We strive to understand why things work (or don’t work) and to implement those findings with a purpose and elegance.
