Senior Product Manager

Required

• 4–8 years of product management experience, including several years on hardware-plus-software products (devices, kiosks, robotics, consumer electronics, in-venue technology).
• Early-stage startup experience (seed to Series B, under ~50 people), owning a product end to end without a product team behind you.
• Track record of taking products from working to polished, where quality rather than scope was the deliverable.
• Product judgment for walk-up physical experiences using touch, voice, and large screens in public spaces.
• Experience with AI or conversational products and a clear method for measuring quality in probabilistic systems.
• Writes clear specs, acceptance criteria, and readiness checklists; works from logs, metrics, and dashboards.
• Field orientation: has personally run site acceptance in stores, lobbies, or stadiums.
• Credibility with engineers and designers: technical enough to debate tradeoffs, design-literate enough to judge finished work.
• Required: hands-on use of AI tools in your own work (analysis, prototyping, writing).
• Required: proactive — spots gaps before others report them, proposes fixes, drives them forward unasked.
• Ownership and a clear point of view on what the product should be.
• Able to work on-site in Palo Alto; lives in or will relocate to the SF Bay Area.
