Founding Product Manager at Ultra — Brooklyn, USA | Base Career

Full Job Posting

Own the roadmap : Decide what we build for customers and in what order, and defend those decisions with evidence rather than opinion.
Be the voice of the customer : Embed on-site with associates, supervisors, and operators. Watch how our robots and software actually get used, then make sure what you learn is incorporated in what we ship.
Design and prototype : Go from problem to working interface yourself. Design it, build it in Cursor or Claude Code, put it in-front of a customer, and iterate.
Ship with engineering : Work directly with our software team to go from prototype to production. Make priorities and the reasoning behind them obvious to the people building.
Own the hardware/software seam : Latency, faults, teleop handoffs, safety states, and what happens when a robot drops something are product problems, not just engineering ones.
Serve every user type : Build one platform that works for a warehouse associate at 2am and an executive reviewing spend at quarter end.
Support GTM : Join customer calls, demos, and pilots. Help sales and leadership translate what we're building into why it matters.
Communicate externally : Write and speak clearly about what we're building - to customers, partners, and the world.

A builder : You'd rather show a working prototype than write a document about one. You have design taste and can produce yourself.
An AI power user : Cursor, Claude Code, whatever is fastest this month. These are daily tools for you.
Credible with engineers : You can hold a room, make priorities and the reasoning behind them clear, and do it with real empathy for how product actually gets built.
Technically literate : You don't need to write production code, but you can understand how our autonomy stack, software stack, and robots work, and why certain things are hard.
A strong communicator : You can explain a technical idea to a CTO, a skeptical warehouse manager, and a room of investors in the same day.
Bonus: You're a former founder
