About the role
- Identify opportunities emerging from new technologies, AI, data, platform capabilities, or infrastructure shifts
- Translate weak signals and technical possibilities into clear product hypotheses
- Explore ideas before there is a clear buyer, category, or demand signal
- Maintain an exploration backlog with risks, assumptions, and learning goals
- Frame experiments around the single riskiest assumption
- Define explicit kill criteria before building anything
- Choose the right fidelity: prototype, technical spike, wizard-of-oz, or live pilot
- Build just enough to learn — never more
- Execute scrappy prototypes, MVPs, and pilots with minimal scope
- Work closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and GTM during experiments
- Ruthlessly protect learning speed and avoid premature optimization
- Synthesize results into opinionated recommendations: Scale / Iterate / Kill
- Clearly communicate what was tested, what was learned, and what remains unknown
- Avoid zombie initiatives — every experiment must end with a decision
- Prepare Clean Escalation & Handoffs
- Maintain a visible Lab portfolio: what's being explored, why, and what the signals say
- Publish decision memos and learning summaries
- Share failed experiments openly when the learning is clear
- Use modern AI tools to speed up research, synthesis, prototyping, and experimentation
- Selectively launch bold initiatives even when short-term adoption is uncertain
- Treat launches as real product bets, not demos
- Be explicit about intent: learning, optionality, or external signaling
Requirements
- 5+ years in product roles with real 0→1 or exploratory ownership
- Personally owned multiple high-risk bets with explicit go / kill decisions
- Experience where learning speed mattered more than polish
- Comfort operating with real downside risk (time, opportunity cost, credibility)
- Strong hands-on experience using AI as a product-building and exploration tool
- Comfortable prototyping with LLMs, APIs, or modern tooling
- Able to scope AI experiments realistically (data, cost, latency, accuracy)
- Can judge feasibility without full engineering validation
- Curious beyond AI: automation, real-time data, voice, CV, infrastructure shifts
Benefits
- 31 days of paid time off
- 100% paid telemedicine plan
- Home office setup assistance
- English learning courses
- Professional education budget
- Gym or swimming pool membership
- Co-working support
- Fully remote work
