Head of Product – AI

A1 is a self-funded AI group, operating in full stealth. We’re building a new global consumer AI application where product decisions are inseparable from model behavior, system constraints, and real user outcomes.

• You define what we build and why, grounded in what AI can actually do
• You shape how model capabilities turn into real user value
• You ensure product ambition stays aligned with technical reality
• You own AI product quality across UX, reliability, and outcomes
• You influence the direction of the company’s earliest and most critical use cases

• Own the end-to-end AI product strategy, grounded in technical feasibility
• Translate model capabilities, data constraints, and evaluation results into clear product decisions
  
  Make hard tradeoffs across quality, latency, cost, reliability, and UX
• Work daily with ML, backend, and mobile engineers on design, evaluation, and iteration
• Define success metrics and feedback loops across offline evaluation, online testing, and human feedback
• Drive execution with clear specs, risk awareness, and disciplined prioritization
• Ensure AI features ship fast, safely, and reliably into production

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related field (Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Math with CS-heavy coursework)
• Strong understanding of:
  • Algorithms and data structures
  • System design
  • ML fundamentals

• Hands-on exposure to AI systems, including:
  • LLM-based products
  • Model evaluation
  • Prompt or pipeline iteration
• Ability to reason about:
  • Model limitations
  • Hallucinations
  • Bias and drift
• Comfortable reading, reviewing, and discussing technical design documents

• 6+ years of product experience
• Proven ownership of complex, technical products
• Experience working closely with senior engineers and ML teams
• Strong judgment and decision-making under uncertainty

• Experience shipping AI-heavy consumer products
• Background as an engineer or strong technical PM
• Experience defining evaluation metrics for ML systems
• Strong intuition for AI UX patterns and failure handling
• Prior experience in zero-to-one product environments

We operate as a dense, senior, high-performance team. We value clarity, speed, craftsmanship, and relentless ownership. We behave like founders — we build, ship, iterate, and hold ourselves to a high technical bar.

If you value excellence, enjoy building real systems, and want to be part of a small team creating something globally impactful, you’ll thrive here.

A1 is a self-funded, independent AI group, focused on building a new consumer AI product with global impact. We’re assembling a small, elite team of ML and engineering builders who want to work on meaningful, high-impact problems.
