AI Product Builder (m/f/d)
Why This Role Exists
We are building an AI-native product team that ships working software in days, not quarters. This role is for someone who treats prototyping as the discovery medium — not someone who runs discovery and then waits for engineering capacity. Your default output is a working artifact in a tenant's or stakeholder's hands, not a PRD in Confluence.
This is a builder role, not a coordinator role. If you light up at owning a quarterly roadmap and running stakeholder workshops, this is not the right fit — and that is by design..
What Success Looks Like
- Tenants and operations teams use working prototypes within the same week the idea was raised — not the same quarter.
- You ship a portfolio of small, testable bets. Some land, some are killed quickly. Both are good outcomes.
- AI-powered tenant features move from concept to live PoC without engineering becoming the bottleneck.
- Build / buy / kill decisions are made on evidence from real users — not opinions in slide decks.
- The integration engineering team hardens what you proved was worth keeping; everything else is thrown away cleanly.
Responsibilities
Hands-On Building
- Ship clickable, working prototypes in AI-native tooling — Claude, Cursor, Replit, v0, Lovable, Figma Make, Bolt, or equivalent — within the same week an idea surfaces.
- Use prototypes as the discovery artifact. A working demo in front of a tenant beats a 12-page PRD every time.
- Build internal tools, automations, and tenant-facing PoCs end-to-end. You are not just specifying — you are shipping.
- Decide what to harden into production with the integration engineering team, what to keep in prototype form, and what to throw away.
Discovery & Tenant Insight
- Run discovery directly with tenants, property managers, and operations teams. Live in the field, not in workshops.
- Use AI in your own workflow — feedback synthesis, competitive scanning, copy generation, data exploration, SQL against tenant analytics.
- Translate real estate operational reality into product decisions. Understand how leases, service charges, move-ins, and tenant communications actually work — not in theory, but in practice.
Prioritization & Stakeholder Translation
- Own a portfolio of small bets, not a single quarterly roadmap. Velocity comes from optionality, not from planning.
- Be the connective tissue between business stakeholders and the AI-native build team. Shield builders from noise; surface signal.
- Define the few KPIs that actually matter for tenant adoption and operational impact. Instrument them yourself when needed.
- Make pragmatic build / buy / kill calls fast. A killed idea this week is more valuable than a maybe-someday idea on a roadmap.
Your Profile
Experience & Expertise
- 4+ years shipping product, ideally in B2C or self-service B2B platforms. We care more about what you have shipped than how long you have been doing it.
- Hard requirement: a working portfolio of AI-built prototypes. You must be able to demonstrate something you personally built and shipped in the last 90 days using tools like Claude, Cursor, Replit, v0, or similar.
- Technical literacy that goes beyond "can talk to engineers": comfortable reading APIs, sketching data models, writing SQL, debugging your own prototypes, deploying to Vercel or similar.
- Strong tenant or end-user empathy and direct discovery instincts. You have run sessions with real users in the last 6 months.
- Real estate, proptech, property management, or tenant services experience is a meaningful advantage — not just "nice to have". Domain familiarity translates directly into shipping speed.
- Comfortable working without traditional PM artifacts. You can write a clear spec when needed, but you do not lead with one.
Core Competencies
- Builder Instinct: You ship working artifacts as your primary form of communication. Documents are a fallback, not a first move.
- AI Tool Fluency: You select and apply the right AI tool for the right job. You evaluate new ones critically and adopt fast when they earn it.
- Discovery Through Building: You use prototypes as the discovery medium — putting working demos in front of users instead of running theoretical workshops.
- Prioritization Under Uncertainty: You kill bad ideas quickly and double down on what is showing signal. You are comfortable with most of your bets not paying off.
- Stakeholder Translation: You hold the line between business intent and engineering reality without becoming a bottleneck for either side.
- Real Estate Operational Curiosity: You actively want to understand how a property gets managed, where the friction lives, and what tenants actually deal with.
Who You Are
- Builder First: You measure your week in things shipped, not meetings attended.
- Comfortable Throwing Work Away: You do not get attached to ideas that did not land. The portfolio matters more than any single bet.
- Allergic to Pure-Coordinator Weeks: If your week is mostly JIRA grooming and status meetings, something is wrong and you fix it.
- AI-Forward: AI tools are your default workflow, not a novelty. You experiment with new ones every month.
- Direct & Pragmatic: You push back on bad ideas — including your own — and you do it without ceremony.
- Discreet: You handle tenant data and sensitive operational information with the care it deserves, including data passing through AI systems.
Qualifications
- Working portfolio of AI-built prototypes — link required in application.
- English: business fluent.
- German: a strong advantage given the operating context.
- Relevant degree in any field, or equivalent demonstrated experience. Degree is not gating; portfolio is.
- Familiarity with tools such as Claude, Cursor, Replit, Figma Make, Vercel, Supabase, Notion, Linear, and modern analytics platforms.
