The company has embedded itself deeply in manufacturing and logistics operations and now leverages proprietary data from millions of shifts plus strong enterprise relationships to build applied AI that drives real productivity gains.

The role demands comfort with rapid iteration as underlying model ecosystems, assumptions, capabilities, and constraints evolve continuously. REQUIREMENTS: - 3–5 years of experience as a Product Manager - Evidence of launching products from scratch and driving meaningful customer outcomes - Experience building AI-native products or customer-facing agent systems (not just AI features, copilots, chat interfaces, or lightweight LLM integrations) - Strong technical abilities with the ability to work deeply with engineering and ML teams - Ability to read evaluations, reason through system performance, and prototype ideas - Experience operating in highly ambiguous startup environments with fast iteration cycles - Deep familiarity with AI tools and hands-on experience building with modern AI systems - Desire to work at a startup and cover an exceptionally wide surface area - Strong work ethic and desire to build a category-defining company Desired traits: Real agent builder with launched customer-facing AI products where systems took meaningful autonomous actions; 0-to-1 operator comfortable with product-market fit discovery; AI-native problem solver navigating model evolution and reliability tradeoffs; first-principles thinker; customer-embedded builder with experience in forward-deployed or customer-embedded product development; technical depth to operate as peer with ML engineers; builder mentality with scrappy problem-solving; deeply collaborative across engineering, ML, operations, design, leadership, and customers.
