On the list of things the OP wants was, "Product I believe in – alignment of the team towards a true north centered on product, Minimal levels of team toxicity" A quicker way to find this may be by popping up a level and asking, "who do I really want to help, and then what product do they need?" That lack of a "who," in the north star turns companies into a race to the bottom. The "why," implied by the "who" needs to be there as well, but find some people you like or admire and build something they want. It's a different class of problem than working for a large org where most of big corp products are just about leverage and optimization, instead of desire and growth. Who do you want to help?
