Reducing cognitive load and helping people to convert information into knowledge, is at the core of our mission. Our engineering team is building a scalable platform that deals with tons of data, AI processing over the data, and interactions of users from across the globe. We believe research plays a key role in making the world a better place, and we want to make it easy to approach and fun to do Role overview We are seeking a Senior Product Manager with 5+ years of experience in user-experience-driven AI product management (preferably in B2C and B2B AI SaaS), and either 3+ years of full-stack/backend development experience (ideally in product companies) or 3+ years of AI/ML/NLP research engineering experience.

Data-driven, evidence-centric product-thinking: You are able to value experience-driven gut feeling as a starting hypothesis and love to validate that through primary and secondary research following agile methodologies suitable for early-stage startups. You love operating amidst alternative views and honestly seek to validate them. Collaborative mindset: You strongly believe that great ideas can come from any corner of the organization and needs to be valued and processed in a collaborative way. You are a team player who believes that ideas belong to the team and their success or failure is not that of an individual's.
