About the team

We are a bunch of passionate researchers, engineers, product managers, data scientists, and designers who came together to build a product that can revolutionize the way any research-intensive projects are done. Reducing cognitive load and helping people to convert information into knowledge, is at the core of our mission. Our engineering team is building a scalable platform that deals with tons of data, AI processing over the data, and interactions of users from across the globe. We believe research plays a key role in making the world a better place, and we want to make it easy to approach and fun to do!

Role overview

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager with 5+ years of experience in user-experience-driven AI product management (preferably in B2C and B2B AI SaaS), and either 3+ years of full-stack / backend development experience (ideally in product companies) or 3+ years of AI / ML / NLP research engineering experience.

You will be working very closely with other product managers, product designers, marketers, sales, engineering leadership, research leadership, and top management to ensure the successful delivery of projects and pragmatic (re-)designing of the product roadmap in an agile, iterative way. What we would love to see in you are the following traits :

First-principle product thinking : You would lead the product in our earliest stages, helping us build our platform products from the ground up and leading us through launch.

Data-driven, evidence-centric product-thinking : You are able to value experience-driven gut feeling as a starting hypothesis and love to validate that through primary and secondary research following agile methodologies suitable for early-stage startups. You love operating amidst alternative views and honestly seek to validate them.

Collaborative mindset : You strongly believe that great ideas can come from any corner of the organization and needs to be valued and processed in a collaborative way. You are a team player who believes that ideas belong to the team and their success or failure is not that of an individual's.
