Senior AI Product Builder - FC Automation
$151,080–$251,800 year
RemoteCalifornia, United States or Arizona, United States
Job Summary
Own the full product loop for automation strategy: conduct independent customer discovery, synthesize research using AI tools, and define precise story/specs for AI-augmented prototypes and production PRs. Evaluate automation hardware options, recommend strategic fits, and ship WMS integrations that drive measurable productivity and quality gains across the fulfillment network. Independently analyze product metrics, set success metrics with explicit kill thresholds, and make day-7 rollout decisions based on AI-surfaced data. This role operates within an AI-native pod alongside engineers and designers to turn automation strategy into operating reality.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of product management, product engineering, or equivalent experience
- 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
- 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
- Demonstrated experience shaping automation product strategy in a fulfillment, warehouse, or manufacturing context — selecting automation hardware, integrating it with a WMS or shop floor system, and shipping measurable productivity and quality gains
- Comfortable operating in a fail-fast culture
- Excellent written communication: you write specs, not meeting notes

Desired Qualifications
- 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
