Job summary

ShipBob seeks a Senior AI Product Builder to own the full build loop for Product and Inventory Experience, from discovery to production PR and outcomes. You will work in an AI-native pod with engineers who support you and push back on solutions when needed.

The role centers on data contracts, catalog, and inventory data quality, aligning with ShipBob’s strategic AI initiatives. The position requires hands-on AI tooling, writing precise specs for AI to execute, and delivering measurable outcomes.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management, product engineering, or equivalent experience, with demonstrated hands‑on AI tool usage in a professional context.
• Proven ability to write story/specs that AI tools can act on directly — state machines, business rules, data contracts, edge cases — not narrative PRDs.
• Technical fluency: can read a data model, evaluate an API contract, and identify when AI‑generated code deviates from the target architecture.
• Track record of shipping working prototypes or production code, not just Figma mocks or slide decks.
• Strong outcome ownership: sets success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time and tracks them after launch.
• Experience working in supply chain, fulfillment, logistics, or e‑commerce technology.
• Comfortable operating in a fail‑fast culture. Being wrong fast is a feature here — staying slow to look right is the failure mode.
• Excellent written communication: you write specs, not meeting notes.

Responsibilities

• Own the full product loop end-to-end: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement.
• Own the product catalog and inventory data surface end-to-end: SKUs, variants, bundles, lots, and channel sync.
• Run customer discovery yourself; use AI tools to synthesize research across tickets, interviews, behavioral data, and competitive signals.
• Demonstrate deep functional and technical knowledge of owned products end-to-end. Demo to merchants and partners yourself.
• Use AI tools to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies. Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time.
• Maintain a prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed.
• Evaluate whether a proposed solution fits ShipBob’s architecture without Engineering translation.
• Route changes through prototype-then-PR. Write clear story/specs and review AI-generated code before raising.
• Set experiment hypotheses with explicit kill thresholds. Make day-7 rollout/kill decisions on AI-surfaced data.
• Participate in architecture reviews alongside Engineering as the product judgment seat.
• Additional duties and responsibilities as necessary.
