Founding Product Architect; AI Orchestration

About Skiffra

Skiffra is building the intelligence layer for modern enterprises. We design AI-native orchestration systems that sit above messy, real-world operations and turn them into intelligent, adaptive workflows.

As a Product Owner / Solution Architect, you will define and shape the workflows Skiffra brings to life. This is a hands‑on, zero‑to‑one role focused on problem framing, system design, and rapid execution — not backlog grooming.

• Own discovery for complex operational problems and define what should be built
• Map and redesign workflows that span people, systems, and data
• Translate domain complexity into clear product requirements and system designs
• Partner closely with engineering to design AI‑native solutions and ship quickly
• Define interfaces, handoffs, and decision logic used by agents and workflows
• Work directly with customers and domain experts to validate assumptions
• Prioritize ruthlessly as new information emerges
• Help set early product culture and operating rhythm

• 7+ years of relevant experience in product, systems, or solution design roles
• Proven ability to define problems before jumping to solutions
• Strong systems thinking and comfort with integration‑heavy environments
• Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Experience working closely with engineers on technical products
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and moving quickly

• Experience with enterprise or workflow‑driven software
• Exposure to AI‑enabled products or decision systems
• Background in operations, finance, or industrial domains
• Early‑stage startup or founding‑team experience

We value speed, clarity, and technical rigor. We favor simple systems over clever ones, prototypes over over‑planning, and ownership over handoffs. You’ll work directly with founders and ship things that matter quickly.

This is a hybrid role with regular in‑person collaboration in Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area. We are not a remote‑only company.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

This position is eligible for Skiffra’s standard benefits, including health insurance and retirement plans, and may also qualify for participation in the Company’s bonus and incentive programs.

Skiffra is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
