By revealing emerging patterns before assumptions harden into belief, we give leaders foresight into what is taking shape and the ability to act early.\nThis is not just monitoring. It’s predictive intelligence designed for an AI-mediated world.\nAs AI increasingly defines what people see, trust, and choose, Emberos serves as a grounding force for truth by bringing clarity to how meaning forms today and how it evolves tomorrow.\nWe’re a small, fast-moving team building something foundational, and we’re looking for people who want to shape what comes next.\nThe Opportunity\nWe're looking for a Product Manager who thrives in highly technical environments and loves turning complex problems into products customers actually want.\nThis role sits at the intersection of Engineering, Customer Success, and Leadership. You'll work closely with our engineering team to define priorities, shape product direction, and ensure we're building the right things at the right time.\nThis is not a project coordinator role.\nWe need someone who understands modern product management, thinks strategically, and can translate business opportunity and engineering reality into a single, trustworthy narrative for clients and leadership alike.\nWhat You'll Build\nOWN SCOPE, TIMELINES + CLIENT COMMITMENTS\nServe as the definitive source of truth on what's committed, what's in flight, and what's realistic; no surprises for clients, Customer Success, or leadership.\n\nProvide accurate, defensible timelines to Leadership before commitments go out the door; know the difference between an aggressive estimate and a reckless one.\n\nGive clear, decisive answers under pressure rather than hedging or over-promising.\n\nAnticipate downstream risk before it surfaces, so timeline conversations stay conversations instead of becoming escalations.\n\nPartner with Customer Success to keep every client-facing commitment aligned with what Engineering can actually deliver.\n\nDRIVE THE PRODUCT LIFECYCLE\nOwn the product lifecycle from discovery through launch.\n\nTranslate customer needs, business objectives, and technical constraints into clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.\n\nCreate and maintain product roadmaps aligned with company strategy, and make thoughtful trade-off calls when priorities compete.\n\nPARTNER WITH ENGINEERING\nWork closely with Engineering to execute against the roadmap and work closely with Leadership to define the priorities.\n\nLead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and release planning.\n\nPrioritize the backlog with reasoning engineering can act on without hand-holding.\n\nBALANCE VISION + CUSTOMER NEED\nHold a clear point of view on where the product is going, not just react to the loudest request\n\nTurn customer feedback and market signal into the solution that's actually right, not just the one asked for\n\nDefine success metrics and track product performance after launch\n\nPartner with Customer Success, Sales, and Leadership to continue improving the platform\n\nMust-Have Experience\n5+ years of Product Management experience building SaaS, AI, enterprise, or developer-focused products.\n\nA demonstrated track record of scoping and estimating accurately, and communicating those estimates clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike.\n\nA calm, decisive communicator. Comfortable telling a client or exec \"no\" or \"not yet,\" and explaining why, without hedging.\n\nDemonstrated experience working directly with software engineering teams.\n\nStrong understanding of Agile product development methodologies.\n\nExperience writing product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.\n\nAbility to balance customer needs, business priorities, and technical constraints without losing sight of what was actually promised.\n\nStrong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills.\n\nComfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities evolve quickly.\n\nExperience with Jira, Linear, Notion, or similar product management tools.\n\nNice to Have\nScrum Master certification or hands-on Scrum Master experience.\n\nExperience building AI, machine learning, analytics, or data-driven products.\n\nExperience working on APIs, developer platforms, or technical products.\n\nTechnical background or previous software engineering experience.\n\nExperience at an early-stage startup.\n\nYou'll thrive here if\nYou think several steps ahead of the conversation you're in.\n\nBefore you tell a client or your own team something is possible, you've already worked through what it actually takes to get there, so when you say yes, it's real, and when you say no, it's final. A tight timeline or an unhappy client doesn't fluster you; it makes you more precise.\n\nYou're naturally curious and enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity.\n\nYou ask \"why\" before deciding \"what,\" communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences, and take ownership without needing every answer handed to you.\n\nYou care about building things customers actually need and it rattles you to put your team in a position they can't deliver on.\n\nWhy Join emberos\nHelp define an entirely new category at the intersection of AI and brand intelligence.\n\nWork alongside a highly technical engineering team solving novel problems.\n\nInfluence product strategy and roadmap from the earliest stages.\n\nBuild products that shape how global brands navigate the future of AI.\n\nJoin a small team where your decisions have immediate and lasting impact.\n\nIf you're excited about building foundational technology for the AI era and want to help define the future of product at emberos, we'd love to hear from you.\nEmberos is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment; dedicated to providing equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, creed, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship status, marital status, disability, gender identity, gender expression, and veteran status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6291,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"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":false,"industries":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T19:56:39Z"}],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.399,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":60,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:5","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/emberos-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/emberos-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T00:17:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":92,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4908,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
