Job summary

ShipBob is seeking a Senior AI Product Builder to own the full build loop for the Product and Inventory Experience domain: discovery, story/specs, AI-augmented prototypes, and production PRs. You’ll operate in an AI-native pod with engineers and report to a Director, AI Product Builder, delivering outcomes, not just documents.

Your scope includes the product catalog, inventory data surfaces, and channel synchronization.

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.

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; understand competitive landscape and key differentiators.
• Use AI tools to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies. Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time — without coaching.
• Maintain a prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed. Use AI tools to synthesize competitive intelligence, market trends, and customer insight into strategic inputs.
• 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 — the person making the build-vs-buy-vs-defer call on the room’s behalf.
• Additional duties and responsibilities as necessary.
