Product Manager, Lab

Role Overview

• 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
• Kill your own ideas quickly when evidence is weak
• Maintain a visible Lab portfolio: what's being explored, why, and what the signals say
• 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

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
