Job description

We are hiring a Founding Product Manager to help scale an AI-native workflow platform transforming one of the world’s largest and least automated industries — construction. This is a high-ownership role focused on moving from human-operated services to AI-driven product workflows. You will operate in a weekly spec-to-ship cadence and work directly with founders and engineering to define what gets automated next — and how.

Location: Onsite in Philadelphia, PA; New York City, NY; or Washington, D.C., DC

Employment Type: Full-Time

Experience Level: 4–8 years

Visa Sponsorship: Not available

Company Stage: Seed

Key Responsibilities

• Own a product surface end-to-end (PRD → standup → QA → demo → metric impact)
• Operate in a weekly spec-to-ship cadence
• Write clear product specs in documents (not decks)
• Sit directly with estimators and contractors observing live workflows
• Decide which parts of human-operated workflow should transition to software — and in what order
• QA features on live customer bids
• Define and track measurable success metrics: Cycle time per bid, Scope completeness, Vendor quote turnaround, Win rate
• Partner closely with CTO, engineers, and founders
• Maintain high velocity without breaking what already works

Requirements

• 4–8 years in Product Management
• Prior early-stage startup experience
• Demonstrated end-to-end product ownership
• Strong execution speed — prefers shipping v1 early vs polishing v3
• Strong written communication (engineer-ready PRDs)
• AI-native fluency (Claude, Codex, agentic workflows used in production)
• Experience shipping product — not just planning it
• Construction / AEC / vertical SaaS exposure
• Experience turning human-operated workflows into product
• Technical literacy (can read code)
• Experience scaling product from ~$1M to $100M ARR
• AI-native vertical SaaS background

Benefits

• Meaningful early-employee equity grant
• ESOP participation
• Employer-funded health insurance (flexible plan selection)
• Meal stipend

Interview Process

• Initial Chat with Founder
• Technical / Take-Home Challenge
• Team Round
• Optional On-Site
