About the Role You will join as our Founding AI Product Manager . You'll work closely with the founder, engineers, and customers to define what Soff builds and why. You'll own the product end‑to‑end — from how our AI agents process RFQs and match part numbers to how quotes flow back through legacy ERP systems. You'll be the connective tissue between deep customer workflows and engineering execution. What you'll do Own the product roadmap for Soff's AI agents — autonomous context‑aware conversation, part matching, quote generation, and ERP sync Work directly with industrial customers to deeply understand their operations, then translate that into clear product bets Define how our AI agents handle edge cases, exceptions, and multi‑step workflows — and design feedback loops that make the system smarter over time Set prioritization and sequencing across customer requests, technical debt, and new capabilities to maximize impact Own the ERP integration roadmap — decide which systems to support next and work with engineering to build repeatable integration patterns Partner with engineering on LLM pipeline decisions, part number matching accuracy, and agentic email processing reliability Ship. Constantly. We're a small team and you'll have enormous leverage on what gets built What we want Anything it takes mentality. Together, we do what it takes to win customers and build the right product. Builder, not bureaucrat. You've shipped real products, ideally from scratch.
