Product Builder

Summary of Role

The Product Builder brings clarity to complex problems and speed to execution. You serve as the single source of truth for your Scrum team, translating customer needs and technical constraints into clear, testable work that moves efficiently from concept to validated solution. You operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer value. You actively leverage AI tools to enhance thinking, accelerate prototyping, and reduce friction across teams. AI is used to amplify judgment, not replace it. You operate differently from a traditional Product Owner. AI is embedded in your daily execution, shaping how you think, explore, and deliver work. You bring stronger technical fluency, allowing you to effectively evaluate feasibility and collaborate deeply with engineering. You move quickly from concept to validated solution through rapid prototyping and experimentation, while maintaining a high bar for backlog readiness, solution quality, and delivery outcomes.

How You’ll Succeed

• Success in this role is defined by consistent delivery of high-quality, validated outcomes with speed and predictability.
• Maintain a continuously ready backlog with at least two iterations of refined, testable stories.
• Reduce ambiguity and cycle time by validating ideas early through prototypes and technical exploration.
• Drive efficient sprint execution with high-quality outputs that meet Definition of Done.
• Ensure delivered solutions work in real customer workflows, not just in theory.
• Build strong alignment across product, engineering, and stakeholders through clear communication and shared context.

What Distinguishes Top Performers

• Reduce cycle time without increasing rework.
• Validate ideas early through rapid prototyping and technical exploration.
• Anticipate questions and resolve ambiguity before it impacts delivery.
• Combine strong product judgment with technical curiosity.
• Use AI tools to improve clarity, speed, and quality of execution.
• Strengthen team capability rather than creating dependency.

What You Bring

• Proven experience in a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar product delivery role in an agile environment.
• Strong ability to translate customer needs and system constraints into clear, testable user stories.
• Demonstrated technical fluency, including familiarity with APIs, system architecture, and modern software development practices.
• Working knowledge of JavaScript, with the ability to read and understand code and collaborate effectively with engineers. A background in software development or a transition from engineering into product management is strongly preferred.
• Experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to improve productivity, clarity, and technical validation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a bias toward action and measurable outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.

How You Work

• Use AI tools as thinking partners, not shortcuts.
• Leverage tools like ChatGPT to refine thinking, structure work, and validate ideas.
• Use tools such as Cursor to stay close to code, APIs, and system behavior.
• Move fluidly between customer language and system language.
• Focus on prioritization, problem-solving, and execution over mechanical work.
