The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and ship product features that bring modern AI tools into user-facing apps, internal operations tools and backend services on a multi-sided platform.

• Track record of building 0-to-1 AI-powered products at fast-growing startups with strong teams.
• Computer Science or other technical degree from a top-ranked university.
• Strong product instincts and a habit of thinking about user problems and business impact across the organization.
• Comfortable leading projects with high velocity, ambiguity and cross-functional complexity.
• Willing to work in person on site five days per week.

Bonus points

• Breadth of experience across multiple domains, such as marketplaces, matching systems, multi-sided platforms or operationally complex industries.
• Experience integrating large language models or agents into real products, including prompting and tool wiring.
