The biggest choke point is the cost estimate. Takeoffs are manual, slow, and one mistake blows millions. We use computer vision and NLP to read drawings like an expert estimator, 10x faster and with fewer mistakes. We're backed by 8VC, Primary, and Pear.\nAbout the role\n You'll own a model-powered product surface end to end: not writing specs and handing them off, but being the person engineering and customers both come to when the question is \"why did the model do that, and what do we do about it.\"\nWhat you'll do\nOwn the roadmap for a model-powered product surface, from customer problem to shipped feature\n\nRead eval reports and confusion matrices well enough to argue with the CV engineers, not just relay their conclusions\n\nMake and defend accuracy/speed/cost tradeoffs - in the room with engineering, and directly with customers\n\nBuild and maintain eval sets that keep the team honest about model performance\n\nDecide when a model is actually ready to ship - not based on aggregate accuracy, but on which failure modes are cheap to catch downstream and which are expensive to miss\n\nTurn ambiguous customer complaints (\"it missed something\") into a specific, testable model or UX fix\n\nWork daily with our CV and ML engineers as a peer who understands the model, not a translator layer\n\nWhat we're looking for\n4+ years in product, with real ownership of a model-powered feature (not just \"worked with\" a data science team)\n\nFluent in model evaluation - precision, recall, false positive/negative tradeoffs - and can reason about when \"85% accurate\" is good enough versus when it isn't, based on the cost of the specific errors, not just the aggregate number\n\nHas shipped 0-to-1 or a major iteration on an ML/CV-driven product in B2B SaaS\n\nComfortable being the last line of defense on \"will this model actually work\" for customers and execs\n\nFast learner - no construction background required, but you'll need to be dangerous in it within 30 days\n\nShips fast, iterates in public, doesn't hide behind process\n\nNice to have\nPrior experience specifically in computer vision (vs. NLP/LLM-only)\n\nBackground at a company like Scale AI, Labelbox, Samsara, Matterport, Cape Analytics, or DroneDeploy\n\nComfortable in Figma and reading code, even if you don't ship it\n\nWhat we offer\n$160K-$180K base + equity\n\nFull-time, in-person in San Francisco - we build together\n\nComp Philosophy\nCash for stability. Bonus for performance. Equity for ownership. Your package reflects your role, your experience, and what you deliver.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2620,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T21:25:41Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":162500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.336,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":107,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bobyard-technical-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bobyard-technical-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T22:57:32Z","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":33875,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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":668916},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668916"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbobyard-technical-product-manager"},{"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%2Fbobyard-technical-product-manager"},{"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%2Fbobyard-technical-product-manager"},{"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/bobyard-technical-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbobyard-technical-product-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":659400}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bobyard.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":659400},"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.
