Own top-of-funnel customer discovery across Fluent’s portfolio: engage directly with users, identify high-value pain points, and surface monetizable AI product ideas.
Prioritize ruthlessly—manage the product idea pipeline based on customer value, business potential, and speed to market.
Prototype fast: move from concept to working, demoable AI-powered product in 2–3 days using AI-enhanced dev tools and third-party AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure AI, Gemini).
Lead live POCs and product demos with customers and stakeholders—then iterate based on what you hear.
Partner with each portfolio company’s R&D team to take validated prototypes into production—bridging your AI product vision with their domain expertise and infrastructure.
Be the change agent: champion AI adoption across the portfolio and help teams see what’s possible.

1–6 years of professional experience in software development, product development, or applied AI—but we care more about what you’ve built than how long you’ve been building.
Demonstrated ability to take an idea from concept to working prototype independently.
Deep fluency in the AI tooling ecosystem—and the habit of staying current. You’re the first to know when a new model drops, a framework ships a breaking change, or a tool emerges that changes the game.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills—you’re as comfortable in a customer meeting as you are in a codebase.
A track record of self-directed work: side projects, freelance products, hackathon wins, or entrepreneurial ventures carry significant weight.
Bonus: experience in SaaS, vertical market software, or early-stage startup environments.
