Responsibilities
Own a dedicated AI-focused product pod, shipping customer value through rapid, continuous delivery in production environments
Lead tight build → measure → learn loops, prioritizing speed, evidence, and iteration over perfection or long planning cycles
Work day-to-day with engineers, making real-time tradeoff decisions across scope, quality, speed, and learning without heavy process overhead
Identify and validate high-impact opportunities where applied AI can materially improve customer workflows, efficiency, or outcomes
Translate ambiguous AI capabilities (e.g., models, prompts, automation, agents) into clear user value propositions, product hypotheses, and measurable success metrics
Partner closely with engineering to shape technically feasible, production-ready AI solutions, rather than research-only or platform-only initiatives
Define success metrics and baselines before work begins and ensure features are instrumented from day one
Use usage data, qualitative feedback, and operational signals to actively decide when to iterate, expand, pause, or stop initiatives
Conduct lightweight, continuous customer discovery (calls, usability tests, workflow reviews) to validate direction and inform iteration
Communicate learnings, progress, risks, and decisions clearly to stakeholders with minimal documentation and process overhead
Align pod outcomes to broader company strategy while protecting pod autonomy, focus, and delivery speed
Contribute to evolving our AI-first product practices, including experimentation patterns, metrics, and pod operating norms, with a focus on shipping and learning in live customer environments
