Required

Deep Technical Literacy: You come from a Computer Science, engineering background, or have equivalent hands-on experience. You must be able to hold your own in a system design discussion, understand what JSON is, read API documentation for fun, and debate infrastructure trade-offs with senior engineers. If you can't, this role is not for you

AI-Native Execution: You don't just use AI; you think with it. You can take a vague idea and, within hours, generate a functional, interactive prototype to test with real users. You leverage AI to instantly generate UI/UX mockups from rough sketches, analyze mountains of user feedback for hidden insights, and formulate data-driven hypotheses that are tested and validated before a single line of production code is written. You are fluent in the modern AI stack for product managers and can go from concept to tested prototype in a day

A 'Wartime' Mentality: You are relentlessly resourceful. You have an obsessive bias for action and will run through walls to get the job done. You don't make excuses; you find solutions. You thrive in chaos and create clarity from it

First-Principles Logic: You think in terms of expected paths, alternate paths, and exception paths instinctively. You can deconstruct a complex user problem into its purest logical components and build it back up into a simple, elegant solution

Owner Mindset: You are an independent operator. You don't need to be told what to do. You see a problem, you validate it, you define a solution, you rally a team, and you ship it. End-to-end

Preferred

1-3 Years of Shipping Experience: You have a track record of shipping software in a product, engineering, or similarly technical role. You've been in the trenches and have the scars to prove it

Leveraging AI to accelerate velocity and quality: You use modern AI tools and workflows not just as a product feature, but to make the entire team faster and the product better

Exceptional Written Clarity: You can write Jira tickets and product specs that are so clear and precise they are impossible to misinterpret. Your documentation is the source of truth that empowers engineers to build with speed and confidence

Intellectual Honesty & Adaptability: You hold strong opinions, weakly held. You are committed to the mission, not your own ideas. When the market or data tells you to pivot, you do so instantly and without ego. You understand that the roadmap is a living document, not a sacred text

User & Data Obsession: You're naturally curious and know how to get answers. You're comfortable getting your hands dirty with analytics tools and talking to users to find the signal in the noise
