Job description

What You'll Do

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for a core Sunbound product area
• Drive high-velocity execution with a world-class team of engineers and designers, balancing sharp product intuition with data-driven decision making
• Marry customer insights with technical possibilities to craft intuitive experiences that abstract away complexity for operators and families
• Prototype rapidly using tools like Cursor, Bolt, and Claude Code to accelerate the product development lifecycle and fast-forward to production-ready products
• Stay deeply plugged into AI research and industry trends, including the latest LLM models, open-source releases, how AI memory and retrieval systems work, and emergent applications, then apply those insights creatively to Sunbound's product
• Work hands‑on with LLM concepts like prompting, embeddings, and retrieval to inform product decisions and partner effectively with engineering
• Contribute to the evolution of Sunbound's product management practices as we scale AI across our platform

What We're Looking For

• BA/BS in a technical or analytical field (e.g. Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, Mathematics, Physics, or related)
• 4+ years of product management or adjacent product‑building experience
• Strong customer empathy and design thinking with a track record of shipping products people love
• Passion for AI, shown through hands‑on building, prototyping, or side projects and a habit of staying current on research and tools
• Hands‑on fluency with LLM concepts including prompting, fine‑tuning, embeddings, retrieval, and evaluation, and the judgment to translate these into reliable, user‑facing products
• Genuine AI curiosity in practice: you follow model releases, understand how AI memory and context windows work, explore open‑source LLMs, and regularly experiment with what's new
• Fluency with modern prototyping tools including Cursor, Bolt, and Claude Code, and comfort with design and collaboration environments like Figma and Git
• Fluency in data and experimentation, and the judgment to know when the data can't give you the answer
• Proven ability to lead small, cross‑functional teams toward ambitious goals with urgency and ownership
• Ability to translate between technical and non‑technical audiences, synthesizing complex systems into clear, compelling narratives
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in fintech, health‑tech, or B2B SaaS products
• Prior experience building or launching LLM‑powered features in a production environment
• Familiarity with senior living, payments infrastructure, or revenue cycle management
• Experience running lightweight customer interviews or usability tests
• Comfort with basic front‑end concepts like components, states, and APIs

Benefits

• Competitive comp with equity so you own a piece of what you're building
• 90% of your medical premium covered
• Fully paid parental leave
• Unlimited PTO - and we actively encourage you to use it. Well‑rested people do better work, make better decisions, and stay longer. Taking care of yourself isn't a perk here, it's part of the job
• An AI‑native environment where we trust you to do your best work
