• Own the product strategy for personalization, matchmaking, and discovery across VRChat, including worlds, groups, events, and social connections. • Lead the roadmap for algorithmic systems spanning candidate generation, ranking, diversity and novelty controls, exploration vs. exploitation, and session- and context-aware recommendations. • Partner closely with ML/Engineering and Data Science to deliver production-grade models and pipelines, covering data instrumentation, feature development, evaluation, and iteration. • Design user-facing experiences that translate algorithmic capabilities into clear, differentiated user value. • Define and operationalize success metrics across relevance, retention, social outcomes (e.g., friendship formation), and ecosystem health (e.g., creator success), with strong guardrails. • Own experimentation end-to-end, from hypothesis generation and test design to analysis, rollout, and ongoing tuning. • Ensure system quality and integrity by addressing spam, manipulation, low-quality content, feedback loops, and unintended consequences, in partnership with Trust & Safety and Policy. • Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and outcomes clearly to executives and cross-functional partners, driving alignment on goals and execution.
