About The Position

We’re hiring a Head of Product to lead the product org end-to-end — from strategy and roadmap to the actual craft of building and shipping great products. AI is already being deeply embedded in the product, the team already works in tools like Lovable, v0, Cursor, and similar workflows every day, and we’re working on shipping AI-powered features in production. What we need now is someone who can turn that momentum into a real advantage, someone who knows where to double down, what bets are worth making, and how to raise the bar across the entire product experience. This is a player-coach role. You'll directly run a few of the highest-leverage bets yourself while leading a product team of 5+ PMs and designers (and growing). You'll be the person who decides what the next AI-native version of our product looks like, makes the calls on what gets built, and raises the ceiling on how good our prototyping-to-production pipeline can be. You'll report to the founders and partner closely with engineering, design, ops, and our customer-facing teams.

Requirements

You’ve shipped AI products in production. Not just prototypes or demos. You’ve dealt with real-world edge cases, quality issues, model behavior, latency, costs, and the tradeoffs that come with building reliable AI experiences.
You’re deeply hands-on. Our PMs and designers already prototype directly in tools like Cursor, Lovable, v0, Bolt, and Replit. We’re looking for someone who is genuinely fluent in modern AI-native workflows and can push the team forward.
You can operate in operationally complex environments. Experience in logistics, marketplaces, mobility, fulfillment, or other operationally heavy products is a strong plus. You should be excited to get close to the real workflows and problems behind the product.
You have strong product judgment. You write clearly, make decisions quickly, and know how to separate meaningful opportunities from noise.
You know how to lead high-performing teams. You can raise the bar, give clear direction, and create an environment where talented people can do their best work without unnecessary process.
