About The Position

The Safety team is pioneering the application of AI to make physical operations safer at global scale.

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial, technically-minded Product Manager to take one of our largest and fastest-growing businesses - Video-based Safety - to the next level. This is a high-ownership role launching and scaling new safety products for our customers, leveraging data from our millions of deployed devices.

You'll be empowered to experiment boldly, challenge conventional thinking, and demonstrate the transformative power of AI when applied to the most challenging and complex operational environments. We’re looking for someone with a high degree of customer-obsession and a passion for changing the physical world. The ideal candidate has spent time as a founder or early startup engineer / PM with deep experience applying AI/ML to solve customer problems, and has led at-scale products. You'll collaborate closely with our dedicated teams in Engineering and Design, as well as work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to propel our video-based safety product to its next phase of growth. Our ambitions for this product are high, and we're excited to invite you to join us! This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.
