Head of Product

About the opportunity A venture-backed startup, recently funded with an $11M seed round, is building an AI-native engine for geospatial intelligence. We are rethinking how organizations interact with satellite imagery, remote-sensing data, and maps to answer complex questions about the physical world. As the first Head of Product, you will work directly with the founders and engineering team to shape the company’s direction from the ground up. This is a "zero-to-one" role for a leader who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build the product discipline of a next-generation AI platform. What you will do - Define the product strategy by spending significant time with design partners to identify order-of-magnitude improvements over existing geospatial workflows. - Transform overlapping industry use cases into generalized frameworks so the platform scales without becoming a collection of one-off solutions. - Shape the workflows, interfaces, and abstractions through which users interact with underlying AI and geospatial capabilities. - Work side-by-side with engineering to prototype, evaluate technical tradeoffs (APIs, latency, reliability), and make build-vs-wait calls. - Own the prioritization process, deciding what to build now, what can wait, and what should never be built. - Create the feedback loop connecting customer usage and experiments to the core product roadmap. What you bring - 6+ years of professional product experience, with a track record of taking technically sophisticated products from ambiguity to market fit at an early-stage startup. - Deep technical literacy: the ability to reason about APIs, data infrastructure, and ML models alongside engineers. - Significant experience building with or around modern AI systems and developed opinions on where they create real value. - Exceptional customer-development instincts and the ability to distinguish urgent problems from interesting ones. - Experience in geospatial technology, satellite imagery, remote sensing, or Earth observation is highly preferred. - A background in AI/ML platforms, developer tools, or data infrastructure. Why this role This is a rare opportunity to be the founding product leader at a well-funded AI startup tackling the massive challenge of indexing the physical world. You will have a direct hand in defining a new category of geospatial intelligence software in a high-autonomy, high-impact environment. Location & Compensation This role is based in-person in San Francisco. The salary range is $175,000 - $300,000 plus 0.5% - 2% equity.
