Founding Product Manager [33064] (San Francisco Bay Area)
We're looking for our Founding Product Manager (PM), our first non-technical hire, who will translate ambiguous customer pain points into crisp product bets, drive 0→1 execution, and help define the product category for AI-native time-series.
The Role
Own 0→1: Translate raw, technical, and often ambiguous customer needs into sharp product hypotheses, ship fast, and validate impact.
Be the Connector: Work hand-in-hand with world-class engineers, researchers, and lighthouse customers to validate and scale winning patterns.
Grow into Leadership: Stand up lightweight product processes now, then build and lead the PM function as we scale into the next stage.
First 6–12 months (IC focus):
- Own product planning, roadmap, and execution in close collaboration with engineering, sales, legal and market
- Partner with early customers to validate hypotheses, prioritize features, and iterate quickly
- Drive new customer discovery through cold outreach, user research, etc.
- Introduce lightweight product processes (sprints, specs, internal tooling) to support execution
- Contribute to go-to-market strategy planning
- Metrics & KPIs: define clear, measurable KPIs for product success (user acquisition, engagement, retention, and overall product impact)
- Transition to product leadership as we grow
What we're looking for:
- 4–7 years of product experience, ideally in early-stage startups or deep tech / B2B / ML / dev tools
- Startup mindset: thrives in ambiguity and moves with urgency. Bias for action — builds fast, ships MVPs, and learns from real-world usage. Works side-by-side with engineering and design to iterate quickly, adjust course based on customer feedback and early market signals, and continuously refine product-market fit
- Strong technical fluency — comfortable working with technical engineers and researchers (no coding required)
- Experience building early-stage products from zero, with a bias for fast, thoughtful execution
- Excellent communication skills and ability to shape clear product narratives
- Hands-on with customer discovery and prioritization
- Ambitious and driven — wants to build, not just manage
Location & Sponsorship
- Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA (in-person)
- Visa Sponsorship: H1-B, O1
