Salary

💰 $200,000 - $220,000 per year

About the role

  • Own product sequencing and prioritization across teams, including quarterly and annual roadmaps with clear tradeoffs, dependencies, and rationale.
  • Independently ramp on the GovWell product by exploring workflows firsthand and using tools like Cursor and the codebase to understand system behavior and constraints.
  • Run customer discovery end-to-end, including calls, onsite visits, and workflow shadowing with government teams.
  • Write clear PRDs, specs, and problem statements that enable engineers to execute autonomously.
  • Partner deeply with engineering leads and design to frame problems correctly and ensure solutions fit into a coherent, scalable platform.
  • Prototype and iterate quickly using tools like Lovable, Figma, Cursor and AI prototyping to validate workflows before engineering investment.
  • Conduct competitive, domain, and regulatory research to inform product decisions.
  • Maintain platform coherence over time, preventing fragmentation across teams and product surfaces.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in product-engineering roles, with end-to-end ownership of meaningful SaaS or platform products at a high-growth company.
  • Strong technical operator with IC coding experience; comfortable investigating workflows directly in the product and codebase, understanding system constraints, and working deeply with engineers.
  • Founder-mode product owner who operates with high autonomy, makes sound tradeoffs, and drives execution without heavy process or oversight.
  • Clear, concise written communicator who produces PRDs and decision docs that unblock engineers and align teams.
  • Strong sequencing and systems thinking; able to manage dependencies and evolve a coherent platform across multiple teams.
  • Deep curiosity about government workflows and constraints; prior govtech or public-sector exposure is a plus but not required.
  • Advanced AI user who actively leverages AI in daily work, product thinking, and everyday life.
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary.
  • Equity / stock options.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) program.
  • Flexible PTO.
