Job Details

Founding Technical Product Manager

Location: San Francisco Bay Area

The Company

We're partnering with a next-generation AI company building the intelligence layer for complex, real-world operations.

This is a true 0?1 company with strong early momentum and a clear point of view on how AI should be applied outside of software.

Why This Role Exists

The product doesn't exist in a clean, predefined way yet — it has to be discovered, shaped, and built from first principles. This role sits at the center of that.

You'll take ambiguous, high-stakes operational problems and turn them into real systems that customers rely on. This is not backlog management — it's problem definition, system design, and shipping.

What You'll Do

• Lead discovery on complex, real-world operational problems
• Break down messy workflows across people, systems, and data
• Translate ambiguity into clear product direction and system design
• Partner deeply with engineering to build and ship AI-native solutions
• Define how decisions get made — interfaces, logic, and agent behavior
• Work directly with customers and domain experts to validate what matters
• Continuously reprioritize as new information emerges
• Help shape early product culture, speed, and standards

What They're Looking For

• ~5+ years in product, systems, or technical solution design roles
• Strong instinct for problem framing before solutioning
• Systems thinker — comfortable in integration-heavy, ambiguous environments
• Able to operate across technical and non-technical stakeholders with clarity
• Experience building alongside engineers on technical products
• High ownership, low ego, moves fast

Nice to Have

• Experience with workflow-heavy or enterprise software
• Exposure to AI / decision systems / automation
• Early-stage or founding team experience

Compensation

$150,000-250,000 + equity + benefits
