Vibe Product Owner
You lead a product direction from hypothesis to first revenue. Pick your domain: workplace AI, EdTech or health.
Position summary
You lead one direction in the studio portfolio: you set the meaning, the priorities and the metrics, and you own the outcome from hypothesis to launch. Product, UX and pace are your calls; the founder holds the frame and the gates; the Founding Engineer owns deep engineering.
Target cadence: 14–21 days from idea to a testable prototype with the economics modeled. Early UX is on you, without a separate designer. Three domains are open: workplace AI, EdTech and health & wellness. Name yours when you apply.
Key responsibilities
- Discovery and validation: market, ICP, value proposition, customer interviews. Unit economics modeled before any significant build, not after.
- PoC and clickable prototypes on tight timelines: interface, scenarios, basic analytics, built by you.
- Taking a confirmed hypothesis to production with a Founding Engineer: stack, data model, deploy, stable release.
- After release: demand, first revenue, unit economics and channels. Then handoff to the commercial side with ready artifacts.
- The agent layer of the product function: research, reporting, backlog, competitive intel. Standards must port to other portfolio products.
Required qualifications
Read this block before applying. If most of these are a no, we won't be able to take you on this role, and we'll both lose the time.
- 5+ years in product: you have led directions or products end to end and owned outcomes, metrics and economics.
- You have domain experience in the direction you apply for: B2B collaboration, EdTech or health and wellness, with concrete cases we can review.
- You have run a full zero-to-one cycle in production: discovery, PoC, launch, first users, demand validation, unit economics.
- Strong hands-on UX: you build the prototypes and interfaces yourself. Interface quality is part of your craft.
- Vibe-coding in practice: working prototypes where no backend is required, in Cursor, Claude Code or equivalents.
- You can defend the product with stakeholders: pitch, narrative and answers on economics and roadmap at investor-dialogue level.
Nice to have
- An ex-engineer to product path: you understand technical trade-offs and speak the same language as engineers.
- Running several products in parallel without a drop in quality or decision speed.
- Hands-on experience with voice agents and TTS.
Stack
- Vibe-coding: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex CLI
- Prototypes: v0, Bolt.new, Lovable, Replit Agent, Claude Artifacts
- AI: Claude, MCP, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, vector DBs (Pinecone, pgvector)
- GTM and analytics: Framer, Webflow, Clay, Apollo, PostHog, Meta Ads, Google Ads
- Orchestration: Linear, Notion, Slack, Granola, Fireflies
Success metrics
This is what the work in this role is measured against, and what we'll walk through at the final interview.
- Cycle time: discovery to clickable prototype within 72 hours, prototype to MVP in 7 days, MVP to production-ready in 21 days.
- Portfolio growth: one stream at the start, then two, then three parallel directions as capacity allows.
- Ship velocity: how many products go from nothing to shipped each quarter.
- Quality: zero critical issues on production-demo and no more than two iterations to acceptance.
- Agent layer: the share of product routine closed by agents, and how well those agents port to other products.
- Trust: issues are raised early instead of surfacing through escalation.

How the process works
We hire slowly and deliberately. Every step is about keeping it honest and aligned for both sides.
Screening
We read every application ourselves, no ATS black box. Then a short call with the hiring team to align on experience, expectations and motivation.
Deep interview
A long conversation with the stream lead about your track record, real cases and how you decide under uncertainty.
Culture fit
One-on-ones with the core team and a founder. We look at values, ethics and how you behave when things get hard.
References
We talk to people you've actually worked with. Hygiene for us, not a formality, and we always do it.
Pilot contract
Two to four weeks on a real product with a clear Definition of Done and concrete artifacts. We don't give take-home tasks.
A 30/60/90 plan and the long game
We match results both ways, set a plan for the first three months and go long. Or part ways honestly.
