Ancestry is a consumer-focused family history company that helps people discover, preserve, and share their family stories through online genealogy tools, historical records, and consumer DNA testing. The company operates a subscription-based platform and eCommerce offerings (such as DNA kits), maintains a large consumer DNA database, and combines technology, data science, and content to power personal discovery and research. Ancestry emphasizes customer experience, diversity and inclusion, and employs global teams across product, engineering, marketing, and science-related roles.

📋 Description

• Lead continuous product discovery by rapidly prototyping, interviewing customers, and validating assumptions to test hypotheses before building. • Partner with engineering and architecture to build a genetic genealogy platform—the APIs, matching logic, and front end components that will power our products. • Write agents to combine historical and genetic data to provide new insights to our users. • Develop and articulate a vision for an integrated experience that seamlessly combines DNA insights with historical records, grounded in customer needs and the latest trends in genomic and genealogical data. • Surface meaningful family connections by combining the richness of our record artifacts with the power of DNA. • Lead UI/UX design initiatives in collaboration with your product designer to create elegant, intuitive components that help simplify the complexities of research through combined genetic and historical record sets. • Collaborate with colleagues to transform your strategic vision into a globally scalable product, taking into account local customer needs, cultural nuances, and competitive landscapes. • Work closely with UX research and design, marketing, customer support, and legal teams to deliver value to customers swiftly and consistently. • Learn rapidly from both quantitative and qualitative feedback, and adapt strategies with agility based on these insights. • Partner closely with Senior Engineers to own the platform vision, use-case prioritization, and the internal developer experience. • Engage with our content professionals and in-house genealogists to gain a thorough understanding of Ancestry’s content, which includes over 60 billion artifacts and user-created trees.

🎯 Requirements

• At least 4 years of experience delivering successful consumer products. • A proven track record in developing recommendation systems at scale. • Deep product discovery skills, with a demonstrated ability to interview users, analyze qualitative and quantitative data, and collaborate tightly with UX design and engineering. • Experience building and using agentic workflows for the product discovery process. • A systems-thinking approach, showing you can handle immense complexity, navigate ambiguity, and bridge the gap between technical architecture and business strategy. • Understanding of agentic frameworks and experience writing agents. • Strong, proven collaboration skills with Data Science, backend engineering, and UX design teams to build data-driven products that serve millions of global users. • Experience partnering with UX to build highly functional internal tools or reference components. • Exceptional skills in written communication, presentation, meeting management, and team-building. • A resilient work ethic driven by data, with the ability to independently gather the necessary information to make informed decisions. • Experience with experimentation to evaluate the impact of feature and algorithmic updates, combined with strong user experience instincts. • Bachelor’s degree is required; master’s degree and a background in STEM, especially genomics, are a plus.
