Product Builder
About the role
We’re hiring a principal-level builder—someone who can interview a user at 9, sketch flows in Figma at noon, and ship the API + UI by end of day. You’ll work directly with the founding team of GIA to take our AI HR & Legal copilot from 0→1 (and beyond). This is an IC role with outsized ownership and leadership influence.
If you identify as a product-minded engineer, designer-who-codes, or technical product lead (IC), you’ll feel at home.
What you’ll do
Own problems end-to-end: user discovery → problem framing → scopes/MVPs → prototypes → shipped features.
Design with taste: wireframes → hi-fi flows → pragmatic design system decisions (Figma).
Build full-stack: React/Next.js on the front, Node/Go/Python on the back, instrumented with auth, analytics, QA, and launch gates.
Lead without title: create momentum, align stakeholders, unblock decisions, and raise the quality bar across product, design, and code.
Ship AI features: rapid protos with LLMs/agents/tools; evaluate with real users; iterate ruthlessly.
Make it measurable: define success metrics, add telemetry, and close the loop with insights.
What you’ll bring
0→1 track record building and shipping end-to-end products in scrappy, high-velocity environments (startup, personal venture, or skunkworks).
Triple-threat skill set:
Product: you can run lean discovery, write crisp PRDs/MVP scopes, and say no well.
Design: you independently create tasteful flows, states, and interaction details in Figma.
Engineering: you implement full-stack features and own the path to production.
Leadership by influence: you rally people, make calls with incomplete data, and hold the bar.
Communication with spine: clear, opinionated, and open to being persuaded by data.
Bonus: shipped AI/LLM features (agents, tooling, evals, retrieval, safety).
Signals we’re looking for (please include in your application)
2 links that show both design and code:
Figma or product video for something you designed.
GitHub or a live app you built (note your exact role + decisions).
A short note on a 0→1 product you shipped: problem → your approach → result.
First 90 days outcomes
Ship a needle-moving MVP/feature to users with clear success metrics.
Establish a lightweight design system and a product+eng iteration loop (discovery → build → measure).
Level up our AI product velocity (prototyping patterns, prompt/eval hygiene, guardrails).
Become the quality bar for UX, product decisions, and code pragmatism.
Interview process (no homework, all live, intentionally rigorous)
Founder Intro (30m): role fit, ambition, working style.
Portfolio/Build Review (30m): walk us through one shipped product (design + code).
Live 0→1 Studio (90m):
20m discovery (we give a messy problem; you drive)
25m Figma flow/wire (you screenshare)
35m build a thin slice (front/back stub; show how you’d ship)
10m metrics & iteration plan
Product/Design Sense (30m): taste, trade-offs, and decision quality.
Engineering Vetting (30m): practical coding & architecture discussion.
Sense & Sensibility (30m): how you lead without authority; anti-fragility under pressure.
Leadership Sign-off (30m): values, communication, and bar-raising.
Why join us
Impact: Founder-like scope, IC execution.
Ownership: Direct say in product, design, and engineering decisions.
Team: Small, ambitious, biased to action.
Momentum: Your work ships to real customers fast.
🔥 You’ll love this if you’re a builder who refuses to choose between product, design, and code — and you want leadership scope without the management track.
Nice to have (but not required)
Experience with LLM agents/tools, eval suites, retrieval, safety/guardrails.
B2B workflows, HR/Legal domains, or compliance-sensitive products.
Created a design system or component library that survived production.
We will consider for employment all qualified applicants who meet the inherent requirements for the position. Please note that background checks are required, and this may include criminal record checks.
The annual gross base salary range for this position is $133,600 - $167,000 plus variable compensation.
We will consider for employment all qualified applicants, including those with arrest records, conviction records, or other criminal histories, in a manner consistent with the requirements of any applicable state and local laws, including the City of Los Angeles’ Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, and the New York City Fair Chance Act.
