Résumé du poste

Build AI is seeking a Product Lead to own the product applying deep learning to physical labor businesses and scale it country by country. You decide what to ship, who it is for, and how it enters operators' workflows in the field, integrating collection hardware, customer product, and field operations into one seamless system.

You will work at the crossroads of research, software, Shenzhen hardware, and field ops, guiding a 0→1 expansion and ensuring on-site readiness with strong quality and

Qualifications

• Owned a product 0→1 in a real-world or operations-heavy domain.
• Comfortable with ML/deep learning as a product surface, not only research papers.
• Able to work with engineers and field/ops teams without a large product org.
• Bias toward shipping and scaling, including internationally.
• Wants to solve physical labor, not build another dashboard company.

Responsabilités

• Define and ship the product that brings models trained on in-the-wild labor data into real workplaces.
• Sit at the intersection of research, software, Shenzhen hardware, and field ops so collection, models, and the customer product are one system, not three roadmaps.
• Own 0→1 site and country expansion: standup checklists, operator UX, device + software kits, and the path from first factory to repeatable rollout.
• Talk to operators and customers, then turn that into a roadmap you actually ship — not a deck
• Set quality, latency, and operational bars so the product works on a job site, not only in a demo.
• Work with Data Compliance and marketplace incentives so consent, pay, and collection live in the product, not as afterthoughts

Job Summary

We are hiring a Product Lead to own the product that applies deep learning to physical labor businesses and then scales it country by country. This is not a VP of Product seat.

How we're different

Build believes in the Bitter Lesson. By taking a general approach of learning from humans, our addressable market is all physical labor.

We are a fully in-person team in San Francisco (Financial District) and Shenzhen (Nanshan), and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both and work across disciplines as needed.

Build AI is an equal opportunity employer. We review every application. If you do not meet every bullet, still apply. Questions: [e-mail]
