Founding Product Manager — Mission Superintelligence

Location: San Francisco Bay Area / Sacramento Type: Full-time Compensation: $200K-$250K , meaningful early-stage equity, benefits, and a path to product leadership Build What Comes After Generative AI The first wave of AI learned to generate. The next will learn to perceive, reason, coordinate, and act in the physical world. We are building an intelligence platform at the intersection of frontier AI, autonomous systems, robotics, edge computing, sensing, and real-world operations. Our ambition is to create a new category: Mission Superintelligence—technology that helps humans and intelligent machines understand complex environments, make better decisions, and coordinate action across the physical world. We are looking for a Founding Product Manager to help define and build it. This is not a conventional SaaS role. You will work on products that connect advanced AI with drones, robotics, maritime and ground systems, space-based capabilities, IoT infrastructure, sensors, and distributed edge intelligence—without treating them as isolated technologies. The challenge is to make extraordinarily complex systems feel clear, trusted, and powerful. What You Will Own You will work directly with the founders, engineering teams, customers, operators, and strategic partners to: Define the product vision and category Turn frontier technology into products people can trust and deploy Shape how humans interact with intelligent and autonomous systems Create intuitive experiences for planning, understanding, and supervising complex operations Translate emerging AI capabilities into meaningful customer outcomes Lead product discovery, prototypes, field trials, and global deployments Identify the few product decisions that can unlock an entirely new market Help build the product organization and company culture from the ground up You will operate across product strategy, systems thinking, user experience, technical architecture, and real-world execution. The Work You will encounter product challenges that do not have established playbooks: How should humans express intent to intelligent machines? How should AI understand a changing physical environment? How should autonomous systems collaborate across different domains? How do you design products for imperfect data, limited connectivity, and real-world uncertainty? How should intelligence move between cloud, edge devices, sensors, and machines? How do you make sophisticated autonomy understandable and controllable? How do you build trust when software influences consequential physical decisions? You will not be expected to know every answer. You will be expected to help invent them. Who You Are You are a high-agency product builder who wants to work on something difficult, consequential, and genuinely new. You may have built products in AI, robotics, autonomy, aerospace, geospatial systems, industrial technology, infrastructure, computer vision, edge computing, or highly technical enterprise software. You bring: Experience taking ambitious products from zero to one Strong product judgment and systems thinking Enough technical depth to challenge and collaborate with exceptional engineers The ability to turn complexity into an elegant product experienceComfort operating without a predefined market map Strong communication and customer instincts A bias toward prototypes, field learning, and rapid execution The ambition to create a company and category—not merely manage features You do not need expertise in every technology we touch. You need the curiosity and intellectual range to learn quickly across AI, machines, software, sensors, and real-world systems. Why This Opportunity Is Different Most product roles improve something that already exists. This role is about helping create what comes next. You will join early enough to influence: The product architecture The market category The company’s design philosophy The way humans supervise intelligent machines The future product organization The global direction of the company The work will extend beyond Silicon Valley. You may collaborate with customers, innovators, operators, and partners across the United States, India, the Middle East, Europe, and other international markets. You could move from a product session with frontier AI engineers to a robotics demonstration, an international deployment, or a conversation with leaders responsible for complex physical operations. Few roles combine: Frontier and embodied AI Robotics and autonomous systems Edge and distributed intelligence Global exposure Direct founder access Meaningful ownership Real-world impact The opportunity to define a new technology category Competitive early-stage compensation Meaningful equity and long-term ownership Health, dental, and vision coverage Flexible paid time off International travel and global market exposure Direct access to founders and key decision-makers Hands‑on exposure to frontier AI and physical‑world technologies High autonomy with minimal bureaucracy Opportunity to build and lead the product organization Potential path to Head of Product or Chief Product Officer This Is Your Role If You do not want your best work to be another incremental feature. You want to build at the boundary between intelligence and action. You want to help answer how AI will interact with machines, infrastructure, and the physical world. You want to look back years from now and know that you helped create a category before the rest of the market knew it existed. #J-18808-Ljbffr Thalmaar
