Founding Product Manager

About this role

About the role: - Lead product strategy and execution from the ground up as a founding member of the team - Shape decisions about what features to build, what to deprioritize, and how to measure success - Work closely with engineers to navigate the complexities of AI systems, including memory management, third-party integrations, access controls, and the balance between performance, response speed and resource costs - Drive adoption of new products by guiding users through discovery and into sustained use - Iterate on solutions when initial approaches don't achieve their goals What we're looking for: - Deep curiosity about how users actually work, including the invisible workarounds they've learned to live with - The ability to convert fuzzy problems into concrete decisions, backed by clear reasoning about what evidence would shift your thinking - A hands-on approach that relies on building prototypes, running small experiments, and leveraging AI tools to test ideas in the real world - Comfort reasoning through technical tradeoffs with your engineering team, especially around AI behavior and system design - An eye for subtle friction—interactions that confuse, notifications that land at the wrong moment, systems that claim certainty they haven't earned - Commitment to see problems through from initial exploration through launch and beyond - Writing and speaking with precision, clarity, and respect, even when you see things differently
