ShipBob, Inc. - Senior AI Product Builder, Inventory Experience
Requirements
• 5+ years of product management, product engineering, or equivalent experience, with demonstrated hands-on AI tool usage in a professional context. • Proven ability to write story/specs that AI tools can act on directly — state machines, business rules, data contracts, edge cases — not narrative PRDs. • Technical fluency: can read a data model, evaluate an API contract, and identify when AI-generated code deviates from the target architecture. • Track record of shipping working prototypes or production code, not just Figma mocks or slide decks. • Strong outcome ownership: sets success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time and tracks them after launch. • Experience working in supply chain, fulfillment, logistics, transportation, or e-commerce technology. • Comfortable operating in a fail-fast culture. Being wrong fast is a feature here — staying slow to look right is the failure mode. • Excellent written communication: you write specs, not meeting notes. • 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 product information management, catalog or inventory systems, multichannel commerce integrations (e.g., Shopify, Amazon), or WMS receiving flows at scale. • Prior experience transitioning a product team from traditional SDLC to an AI-native operating model.
Responsibilities
• Own the full product loop end-to-end: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement. You are accountable for the outcome, not just the handoff. • Own the product catalog and inventory data surface end-to-end: SKUs, variants, bundles, lots, and channel sync. Define the data contracts merchants and partners build against, ship the workflows, and measure data quality and adoption. • Run customer discovery yourself; 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. Demo to merchants and partners yourself; understand competitive landscape and key differentiators. • Use AI tools to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies. Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time — without coaching. • Maintain a prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed. Use AI tools to synthesize competitive intelligence, market trends, and customer insight into strategic inputs. • 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. • 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. • Participate in architecture reviews alongside Engineering as the product judgment seat — the person making the build-vs-buy-vs-defer call on the room’s behalf. • Additional duties and responsibilities as necessary. • Your first 90 days: • Your first 90 days: • Days 1–30 — Map the domain. Understand the ShipBob operating and commercial mode, examine the PIX codebase, anchor on the purpose and value of the domain, and stakeholder conversations to triangulate the top three active bets. Demo a throwaway prototype back to the pod. • Days 1–30 — Map the domain. • Days 30–60 — Ship your first PR. Small and safe is fine. The point is proving the loop, not the size of the change. • Days 30–60 — Ship your first PR. • Days 60–90 — Make a real call. Define and instrument the metric for one real bet, with the kill threshold set at spec time. Make at least one rollout-or-kill call on the data, in front of the team. • Days 60–90 — Make a real call.
