Its 4K full-body AI agents speak 140 languages, show products in 3D, and run on-prem or in the cloud. Developed with NVIDIA on the AI City initiative; live with Walmart, PUMA, and the NFL Super Bowl. LiveX builds every layer in-house (IP design, hardware, interaction, enterprise AI agent, deployment) with two form factors: Gateway (freestanding, life-size) and Portal (wall-mounted, shelf edge). Early-stage startup in Palo Alto.\nAbout the Role\nOwn the end-to-end customer experience across LiveX's hardware and software, from a passerby noticing a device to the customer leaving with their question answered. Set quality standards, find gaps between what ships and what should ship, prioritize fixes, and drive design and engineering to polished launches. The product is already live with customers; the job is to improve it and make each launch succeed. Works directly with the CEO (who owns product) and the founders leading AI and engineering.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the end-to-end experience across hardware (screen, camera, microphones, speakers, mounting, installation) and software (character, conversation, touch/voice interface, 3D content, enterprise AI agent, admin portal) as one product.\n\nSet experience quality standards for each journey step (approach, greeting, conversation, product display, handoff, error recovery) with measurable targets: response latency, recognition accuracy, conversation completion, uptime, time to install.\n\nIdentify gaps by visiting live deployments, running walk-up tests, reviewing conversation logs and customer feedback, auditing new builds; maintain a ranked list of what is broken, rough, or missing.\n\nPrioritize fixes: build a sequenced roadmap and decide between fixes, polish, and new features, backed by field evidence.\n\nDrive design and engineering to delivery: write specs and acceptance criteria, run the product review cadence, remove blockers, hold the team to a high bar.\n\nDrive launch readiness for every release and customer go-live: readiness checklists, go/no-go decisions, on-site or remote acceptance, day-one monitoring, fast post-launch fixes. No release reaches a customer floor without your sign-off.\n\nClose the loop with customers: work with sales, deployment, and customer success to turn field issues into product fixes and fixes into customer updates.\n\nRepresent the user across all five layers of the stack.\n\nRequirements\n4-8 years of product management experience, including several years on hardware-plus-software products (devices, kiosks, robotics, consumer electronics, in-venue technology).\n\nEarly-stage startup experience (seed to Series B, under ~50 people), owning a product end to end without a product team behind you.\n\nTrack record of taking products from working to polished, where quality rather than scope was the deliverable.\n\nProduct judgment for walk-up physical experiences using touch, voice, and large screens in public spaces.\n\nExperience with AI or conversational products and a clear method for measuring quality in probabilistic systems.\n\nWrites clear specs, acceptance criteria, and readiness checklists; works from logs, metrics, and dashboards.\n\nField orientation: has personally run site acceptance in stores, lobbies, or stadiums.\n\nCredibility with engineers and designers: technical enough to debate tradeoffs, design-literate enough to judge finished work.\n\nRequired: hands-on use of AI tools in your own work (analysis, prototyping, writing).\n\nRequired: proactive - spots gaps before others report them, proposes fixes, drives them forward unasked.\n\nOwnership and a clear point of view on what the product should be.\n\nAble to work on-site in Palo Alto; lives in or will relocate to the SF Bay Area.\n\nProduct judgment and a high quality bar are the most important hiring criteria.\nNice-to-Haves\nStrongly preferred: launch or quality ownership for a hardware-plus-software product deployed at scale in retail, hospitality, healthcare, or venues, especially across many sites.\n\nDigital human, avatar, voice assistant, or conversational AI products.\n\nHardware programs: build validation, manufacturing partners, installation, field service.\n\nEnd-to-end product ownership in a startup or small team.\n\nCompensation\nNot listed.\nHow to Apply (original posting)\nEmail resume and a short note to , subject \"Candidate Application - Senior Product Manager\". The note should describe one product you took from working to polished: the gaps, how you prioritized them, and how the launch went.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4810,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Venture Capital"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T23:25:54Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":167500,"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":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":162,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/embedding-vc-senior-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/embedding-vc-senior-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T06:16:58Z","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":9792,"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":6711},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6711"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fembedding-vc-senior-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%2Fembedding-vc-senior-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%2Fembedding-vc-senior-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/embedding-vc-senior-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fembedding-vc-senior-product-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3118668}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"embedding.vc","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3118668},"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.
