- Research competing tools and the wider AI market, then bring insights and new ideas to the team.
- Recruit and grow a product team as the company expands, working directly with the chief executive.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Five-plus years in product roles, with exposure to several employers rather than a single organization.
- A track record of building products from zero to one and helping them scale at startups.
- Hands-on experience with AI and retrieval-augmented generation systems.
- Comfort taking on a wide range of tasks in a fast-moving environment and building a function from scratch.
- Ability to communicate well with engineers and handle engineering pushback.
Bonus points
- Experience in architecture, engineering and construction or adjacent design technology.
- Experience leading or heading a product team.
- Experience in construction scheduling.
