AI-Native Builder Product Owner

We are seeking an AI-Native Builder Product Owner to accelerate entry into new scientific domains by rapidly prototyping and validating application-layer solutions on top of our platform.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• Scientific domain expertise


• AI-assisted software development


• Product ownership


• Application architecture
  
  

You will compress the cycle between domain insight and working software — while partnering closely with Engineering and Product Management to ensure production-grade outcomes.

This is not a traditional PM or engineering role. You are a builder with domain depth and AI fluency.

What You Will Do: 

1. Own a Target Scientific Domain (QC Manufacturing to start)

• Develop a deep understanding of domain workflows, constraints, and regulatory context


• Engage directly with early adopter customers


• Translate domain problems into working software prototypes


• Identify reusable patterns vs one-off requests

2. Build Application-Layer Solutions Using AI

• Use AI tooling to accelerate:
  
  
  
  • Code generation
  
  
  • Workflow automation
  
  
  • Configuration logic
  
  
  • Application scaffolding
  
  
  
  


• Produce working prototypes — not slideware


• Operate within defined sandbox and governance boundaries


• Maintain version-controlled, reviewable artifacts

3. Validate Product–Market Fit Through Real Artifacts

• Rapidly test domain hypotheses through functional prototypes


• Shorten time from concept to demo


• Gather structured feedback from customers


• Identify which capabilities merit platform-level investment

4. Partner with Engineering for Productionization

• Collaborate with Platform Engineering on:
  
  
  
  • Architecture review
  
  
  • Security and compliance considerations
  
  
  • Performance and reliability constraints
  
  
  
  


• Package validated patterns for refactoring into production code


• Respect governance and integration standards

5. Drive Economic Outcomes

• Reduce time-to-prototype in new domains


• Increase reuse of validated extension patterns


• Inform roadmap investment decisions with working artifacts


• Avoid speculative feature investment

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software development or technical product ownership


• Strong hands-on coding experience (Python, TypeScript, Java, or similar)


• Proven use of AI tools to build or accelerate software development


• Experience operating in version-controlled, production-grade environments


• Experience working directly with technical engineering teams
  
  

Strongly Preferred

• Deep experience in a relevant scientific domain (e.g., QC Manufacturing, genomics, regulated laboratory environments)


• Experience building configurable or workflow-driven systems


• Familiarity with SaaS architecture and API-driven platforms


• Understanding of regulated environments (e.g., validation, auditability, compliance)
