Axiad Mesh translates identity exposure into prioritized risk across human, machine, and agentic identities, and drives remediation through existing operational systems, and the Axiad Conductor. Join us in innovating and building customer value in this challenging and urgent space. \nLocation: US (Remote or HQ Hybrid)\nJob Type: Full-time\nYour Mandate \nOwn product management as a capability - roadmap, inbound, outbound, and UX. The flows, the interaction design, the experience: yours, not a partner team's. \nStrategy is a collaboration - no one person owns it. Innovate constantly through the lens of the vision and drive the integration of that innovation into the strategic direction of the products. \nActively build product - not the rule of the job, but a constant, strategic urgent practice. Prototypes, UX, working software: you pick the moments where making the thing is the highest-leverage move and take them without asking - handing the last mile to the team when that's the right call, carrying it yourself when it isn't. \nChallenge legacy processes; Use AI/agents to compress cycle times and automate work that shouldn’t require humans. \nDrive outbound: positioning, competitive teardowns, why-we-win narratives. \nDrive inbound: discovery, customer interviews, ruthless prioritization. \nPush what you learn building and selling back into the shared strategy - a living hypothesis the whole team evolves together. \nPrototype what customers can't yet articulate. \nYour Origin Story \nYou're a career product manager who outgrew the role with your agentic evolution and mastery, shook off its boundaries and took matters into your own hands. \nYou don't just define product direction, you execute on it aggressively. You speak in artifacts and prototypes, and delivered features. AI multiplies your hands and permeates all aspects of your day. \nYou are more than just an AI-native PM.\nDomain \nIdentity is your center of gravity: credentials, authentication, human, machine, and trust and risk. You think constantly about how the world is built on identity and is core to the enterprise function. \nPost-quantum literacy: you grasp the shape of the problem - crypto agility, algorithm transitions, migration realities - and reason credibly about solution paths. PKI depth is a bonus; reasoning about the space and how it manifests is the bar. \nWhat You Bring \nThe agentic evolution of the complete PM discipline, inbound, outbound, UX, from research through interaction design, and beyond. \nAn active, recent building practice - prototype to pull request - deployed by strategic choice, not by exception or emergency. \nAI-native fluency: LLMs, agents, skills, agentic workflows, design and codegen as force multipliers and used more than any other “tool”. \nCompetitive instinct - you read a market, find the wedge, articulate the advantage, and drive it. \nStrategic range: equally comfortable in a pull request as a board deck - and equally energized when the best strategic idea in the room isn't yours. \nHow You Operate \nAll three modes, fluidly: free solo, small-pod, or a force multiplier across the teams. \nStrategy as a team sport: you innovate relentlessly, then drive that innovation into the direction - arguing through the vision, building on others' contributions as readily as your own. \nThe pull toward building - codebase included - is constant; acting on it is your deliberate, strategic call. \nYou're a self-starter to the point of needing restraint. You won't find it here. \nYou see beyond every request to the underlying problem - return more value than was asked. \nExtreme ownership of outcomes. \nDemos over decks. \nNot This Role \nA PM who requests UX design and hands execution to engineering as the gold standard. \nSomeone whose coding is prompt-and-paste. \nSomeone who only builds when cornered - the desire must be constant, urgent, and strategic. \nSomeone who needs to hold the strategy pen alone - or who floats ideas and waits for someone else to drive them. \nA builder who ships without connecting the work to strategy or market position. \n$190K-$250K OTE + equity + benefits \nAbout Us\nWe are a fast-moving company and are looking for candidates with growth potential, eager to learn and who can demonstrate their abilities and motivation to contribute in a fast-paced environment. Axiad offers a competitive compensation and benefits. You will work in a fun and creative environment with a talented group of individuals that have a passion for building great solutions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4682,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Identity Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T00:21:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":58,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.779,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":23,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/axiad-principal-product-builder","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/axiad-principal-product-builder.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T05:39:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8701,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":719630},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=719630"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faxiad-principal-product-builder"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faxiad-principal-product-builder"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faxiad-principal-product-builder"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/axiad-principal-product-builder\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faxiad-principal-product-builder"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2057231}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"axiad.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2057231},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
