Job description

This is the top product job at a small company, covering the whole experience from first setup of the device through daily use, retention and paid plans. It asks for someone who has shipped consumer products people love, makes sharp calls on priorities, and works closely with engineers, designers and the founders. A strong candidate mixes good taste and data skills with a hands-on, builder mindset, and has real experience with hardware or AI products.

How it fits the AI era

AI is the core of the product here, so the work involves deciding how language models turn raw conversations into summaries, actions and personal memory, and testing new model abilities quickly. Judgment about what is actually useful, how much to automate, and how to keep privacy and trust intact stays with people. Deep customer contact also stays human, because models cannot tell what feels delightful or creepy.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers hands-on work with agents, proactive assistants, personal memory and connections to other AI tools through APIs and MCP, all built on real conversation data from a large base of devices. To build this experience beforehand, someone could prototype a small tool that turns recordings into notes or tasks, and try linking it to other AI apps through MCP.

Worth showing

• Shipped consumer products at scale
• Hardware plus software product work
• Hands-on LLM and agent projects
• Retention and activation metrics wins
• Strong design and UX judgment
