• Develop and execute on strategic partnerships with AI companies and platforms.
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and go-to-market teams to deliver products and drive adoption.
• Define success metrics, run experiments, and iterate rapidly based on feedback.

Requirements:

• Former founder with a proven track record of creating and shipping products from 0→1→10.
• 5+ years of product leadership (PM or entrepreneurial), including 2+ years building AI products.
• Experience with databases or other technical products with high scale, high performance needs. Deep knowledge of modern distributed systems and the data infrastructure ecosystem.
• Based in San Francisco, with strong ties to the local AI and developer community.
• Technical background (CS degree or equivalent developer experience strongly preferred).
• Ability to combine strategic thinking with tactical execution.
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Entrepreneurial, decisive, and comfortable navigating uncertainty.
• Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and problem-solving skills.

Our Commitment:

• We respond to every applicant.
• We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.
• We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey.
• We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization.
