📋 Description

• Define product vision, target users, and the problems HyperDev should solve. • Turn product direction into a focused roadmap balancing customer needs, commercial opportunities, and technical constraints. • Make prioritisation decisions and communicate what is being built, why it matters, and what is deferred. • Stay current with AI and developer tooling developments to inform product positioning and choices. • Build relationships with developers and early customers through interviews, workflow observation, and feedback. • Identify unmet needs and validate demand through prototypes, experiments, and early releases. • Own the product journey from discovery and definition through delivery, launch, and iteration. • Create product briefs, user journeys, and acceptance criteria in collaboration with engineering and design. • Prototype experiences, resolve trade-offs, and keep delivery focused. • Improve developer-tool usability across onboarding, feedback, error recovery, and first useful result. • Define how AI acts independently and where human review, intervention, and control are maintained. • Evaluate AI-powered workflows for usefulness, reliability, speed, and cost. • Incorporate transparency, understandable outputs, mistake recovery, trust, security, and code ownership into the product. • Define success measures across activation, engagement, retention, and conversion. • Establish analytics and feedback loops to measure product performance. • Test pricing, packaging, and routes to market with the Co-Founders. • Shape launches, positioning, and product demonstrations. • Use real-usage evidence to determine what to improve, expand, or stop. • Establish discovery, prioritisation, and delivery practices for a small, fast-moving team. • Help hire and develop product and design capabilities. • Build a culture of curiosity, candid feedback, and shared responsibility for customer outcomes.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience taking a software product or significant product area from an early idea through launch and iteration. • A track record of owning product decisions and delivering measurable customer or business outcomes. • Hands-on experience with customer discovery, prioritisation, and close collaboration with engineering and design. • Strong technical fluency: you can discuss APIs, integrations, architecture, and engineering trade-offs with developers. • Practical experience building or shipping AI-powered products, with an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of LLMs. • Strong product judgment and attention to user experience, supported by evidence and an ability to explain your decisions. • Comfort using product data and customer feedback to guide experiments and investment. • Ability to move work forward independently in an early-stage environment with evolving priorities. • Preferred: experience as a founder, founding product hire, or product leader at an early-stage technology company. • Preferred: experience building developer tools, technical SaaS products, or products used by software engineering teams. • Preferred: background in software engineering, technical product management, or hands-on prototyping. • Preferred: familiarity with TypeScript, React, Python, LLM APIs, RAG, or agent workflows. • Preferred: experience finding product-market fit, testing pricing, or building a product-led growth approach. • Preferred: experience hiring and growing a small product or cross-functional team. • Preferred: participation in developer communities or open-source projects.

🏖️ Benefits

• Be part of the founding team of a new AI developer platform backed by an established, profitable parent company. • Shape the architecture, product, and culture of a company from day zero. • Collaborate with a team that has worked at OpenAI and shipped award-winning products. • Access the resources, backing, and reach of the HyperionDev ecosystem while building something new. • Work on the cutting edge of AI and developer tooling, with the freedom to experiment and innovate.
