ShipBob, Inc. - Senior AI Product Builder - FC Automation
Requirements
• Hands-on experience with the AI development toolchain (e.g., Claude Code, Driver.ai, Cursor, Replit, V0, Figma AI). • Working knowledge of TypeScript, React, or Python — enough to debug AI-generated code and understand what the Engineer is reviewing. • Experience with warehouse management systems, order management, carrier integration, or fulfillment operations at scale. • Prior experience transitioning a product team from traditional SDLC to an AI-native operating model. • Working knowledge of warehouse automation hardware — person-to-goods, goods-to-person, AS/RS, robotics, sortation, conveyance, pick-to-light, palletization (robotic and semi-automated), computer vision (dimensioning, item recognition, quality inspection), and similar systems — and direct experience integrating automation hardware into a WMS to lift productivity and quality. • ShipBob believes in transparency while providing a competitive total compensation package with a pay for performance approach. We are targeting a salary range of $151,080 - $251,800 for this role. The full base pay range for this position in our compensation architecture is $151,080 - $289,570. In addition to base salary, this role includes the opportunity to be eligible for participation in the Company's discretionary bonus plan based on Company's plans and in accordance with Company’s policies.
Responsibilities
• Own the full product loop independently: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement. You are accountable for the outcome, not just the handoff. • Independently conduct customer discovery and use AI tools to synthesize research across tickets, interviews, behavioral data, and competitive signals. • Demonstrate deep functional and technical knowledge of owned products end-to-end. Independently demo to merchants and partners; understand competitive landscape and key differentiators. • Use AI tools independently to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies. Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time without coaching. • Maintain a prioritized automation roadmap ranked by impact × speed. Use AI tools to synthesize competitive intelligence, market trends, emerging warehouse automation capabilities, and customer insight into strategic inputs. • Identify the highest-leverage productivity and quality opportunities in ShipBob’s fulfillment operations. Evaluate automation hardware options, recommend the right strategic fit, and own the WMS-side product work that integrates them into the floor. • Independently evaluate whether a proposed solution fits ShipBob's architecture without Engineering translation. Understand service boundaries, data structures, and how merchant and partner API usage shapes data contracts. • Independently route changes through prototype-then-PR. Write clear story/specs and review AI-generated code before raising. PR promotion rate improves consistently. • Set experiment hypotheses with explicit kill thresholds. Make day-7 rollout/kill decisions on AI-surfaced data.
