Job description

Product Technical Manager- The Founder's Technical Partner at a Company Replacing Healthcare.

We're building an AI-powered hardware-software ecosystem that treats the body as a bioelectric system — not a bag of chemicals. This is a building role with leadership authority: direct founder partnership, a team of 6 elite engineers, full ownership of technical architecture, and bonuses tied to velocity and AI-driven cost compression. If you've shipped consumer electronics and think AI-first, read on.

About Energy4Life

Energy4Life is a physics-first health technology company that is a pioneering force in bioenergetics, bio-informational wellness, and mind-body health. Our mission is to restore human health by measuring, managing, and mastering energy & emotions.

We have a 20-year foundation of research, patents, and the world's largest bioenergetic practitioner network. We combine cutting-edge technology with multimedia education, including internationally acclaimed films, online courses, and a vibrant social network — all designed to support a purpose-filled life.

We are scaling intentionally, launching new products, expanding B2B and B2C channels, and building a world-class team to match our world-changing technology.

The Opportunity

The Problem

Drug discovery costs double every nine years while efficacy halves. Chronic disease is accelerating despite trillions in spending. The pharmaceutical model is in structural decline.

Physics governs chemistry — not the other way around — and modern medicine has been ignoring that for a century.

What We're Building

Energy4Life is building the first AI-powered operating system for human health and longevity. Our ecosystem: a consumerAI health app integrating seven diagnostic data streams (THE FIELD), a wearable that delivers personalised biosignatures 24/7 (GEM), a clinical-grade biofeedback device (miHealth), a future full-body photobiomodulation platform (LightBed), and a practitioner platform powering clinics worldwide — all backed by 300+ peer-reviewed sources and two decades of R&D.

The Role

We need a Product Technical Manager in Salt Lake City who will function as the founder's technical partner. Not a project manager. Not a process person. A builder with authority.

You'll own a team of 6 — firmware/electronics, architecture engineering, AI algorithms, biomedical AI, and AI growth infrastructure. You'll own the technical architecture end to end, from embedded device firmware to AI engine to consumer-facing product. You'll ship working systems across the entire ecosystem, faster and leaner than anyone thinks possible.

You should have :

• Experience shipping consumer electronics or hardware-connected software products. This is non-negotiable.
• Full-stack architecture skills spanning embedded systems, apps, cloud, and AI
• A track record of leading small, elite teams that ship fast.
• An AI-first instinct — you already use AI to accelerate everything you do.
• The ability to hold an entire product ecosystem in your head and make fast, sound technical decisions.

What you'll get:

• Direct founder partnership — not a reporting line, a real collaboration
• A team of 6 A++ builders, full technical authority, no bureaucracy
• Performance bonuses tied to speed and output, plus equity in Year 2 for exceptional performers
• Direct bonuses for compressing development timelines through AI-first execution
• Early ownership of category-defining technology at the founding layer

This is not for you if:

• You manage through process, not judgment
• You've never worked at the intersection of hardware and software
• You need large organisations and long timelines
• You treat AI as a side interest rather than a core operating principle
• You want to "learn the space" before delivering value

Compensation: Competitive base + performance bonuses. Equity in Year 2 for exceptional performers.

Location: Salt Lake City, Utah (Required)

To apply: Show us what you've built. Hardware-software products shipped, teams led, systems architected. We care about proof of work, not résumé polish. If reading this made you feel energised — apply. If it makes you feel uncertain, this isn't your role.
