Job summary

Zlayt AI in Austin is hiring a Product Manager to own the product from problem to shipped feature. You'll work with the founders and engineering to decide what we build, why, and in what order — then make sure it ships and actually works for the lawyers and legal assistants who use it every day.

• Experience working with engineers and lawyers as users.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap: talk to PI lawyers and staff, find the highest-value workflow problems, and turn them into a prioritized plan
• Write clear specs and acceptance criteria that engineers can build from without guesswork
• Work hands-on with AI: define how features should behave, test outputs against real legal work product, and set the quality bar for what "good enough to ship" means
• Run discovery and feedback loops with early customers, including Zinda Law Group as the first major client
• Define and track the metrics that show whether a feature is working (adoption, time saved, output quality, retention)
• Operate with significant ambiguity in an early-stage environment, making decisions with incomplete information and adjusting quickly
