Remote (US) | ~3 days/month in Austin, TX
$170-250K base + meaningful equity

About the Role

This is one of the most important hires the company will make.

The team has never had a product manager before. Now, with a growing engineering org and strong traction, they’re hiring their first product leader to define how product gets built.

This is not a roadmap-management role.
You’ll own the product end-to-end — from idea → prototype → shipped feature.

You’ll help transition the platform from traditional SaaS workflows into agentic, AI-powered automation for B2B operations.

If you want ownership, speed, and the ability to actually build — this is that role.

What You’ll Do

• Own the product lifecycle end-to-end: discovery, prototyping, specs, shipping, and iteration
• Build and test AI/LLM-powered workflows (not just plan them)
• Use tools like Cursor, v0, Lovable, Builder.io to prototype working solutions quickly
• Design and run experiments (A/B tests, eval frameworks, multi-arm bandits)
• Work deeply with engineering to define scope, timelines, and technical feasibility
• Talk to customers and translate real problems into shipped features
• Create clear specs, documentation, and internal alignment
• Drive the shift from UI-driven SaaS to agentic, outcome-based systems

What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)

• 3–7 years of product experience in a startup or high-growth environment
• Have shipped AI/LLM-powered features into production
• Actively use AI tools (Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, etc.) to prototype and build
• Strong technical fluency (APIs, data architecture, system design)
• Experience in 0→1 or highly experimental product environments
• Data-driven — can design and evaluate experiments, not just ship features
• Comfortable operating without heavy structure, design teams, or layers
• US-based, able to travel to Austin ~3 days/month

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience at an AI-native or AI-first company (last 3–4 years)
• Background in fintech, payments, AR, or B2B workflows
• Technical degree (CS, engineering, math) or equivalent depth
• Experience with agentic workflows or automation systems
• Built prototypes or internal tools independently

Why Join

• First product hire — define the entire product function
• ~$5M ARR business with strong growth and near-zero churn
• On track to double revenue this year
• Small, high-performing team (~30 people, engineering-heavy)
• Real AI-native product work — not “AI features” bolted on
• High ownership, high velocity, no bureaucracy
• Competitive comp + meaningful equity
