Founding Product Manager
About Rebar
Rebar is building the AI operating system for commercial HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing.
Over the past year our quoting platform has processed tens of thousands of projects across North America and we’ve doubled our revenue in the first 6 weeks of this year. Our customers include many of the top firms in the industry. Some of these companies are running billion dollar construction projects on workflows that still look like it’s 1985.
Construction is 10% of GDP and still massively underserved by software. We are changing that.
We recently raised a $14M Series A from leading construction tech investors and are entering our next phase of growth. We are building a set of AI native products that will define how this industry operates.
We are looking for a Product Manager who wants to build real products, move fast, and take ownership early. You will help define how AI changes one of the largest industries in the world.
What You’ll Do
This is product hire #1.
You’ll work closely with the founders to help shape Rebar’s product direction-what we build today, next month, and over the long term.
Our customers rely on Rebar throughout their entire workday, and feedback is constant, direct, and grounded in real workflows. You’ll spend time talking with users, understanding how they work, and helping ensure we stay focused on the highest-impact problems.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. It’s a great fit for someone who wants to learn quickly, take initiative, and contribute to building something meaningful from the ground up.
You will:
Partner closely with founders to drive product decisions and execution
Engage regularly with customers to understand workflows and pain points
Identify and prioritize high-impact problems to solve
Improve and expand the core product experience
Contribute to launching new products and features
Turn customer feedback into clear, actionable product direction
Help build and refine how we plan and ship product
Collaborate with engineering and design to iterate quickly and deliver high-quality work
Support alignment across customer and internal feedback
Who This Role Is For
This role is for someone who likes talking to users, identifying real problems, and turning them into products.
You’ll thrive here if you:
Enjoy working in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and figuring things out as you go
Take ownership of your work and follow through on outcomes
Care about building products that have real-world impact
This role may be especially interesting if you:
Are curious about starting a company one day
Want to work closely with founders and experienced builders
Are looking for early ownership in a growing company
Are motivated by learning quickly and taking on new challenges
Experience
We’re looking for someone with 3+ years of product experience, but we care most about your ability to build, learn, and execute.
We’re excited about candidates from a range of backgrounds, including:
Software or mechanical engineers who moved into product
Product managers in vertical SaaS or construction tech
People who have worked on complex, real-world workflows
You might be a strong fit if you have:
Experience contributing to shipped products
Thoughtful product judgment and decision-making skills
Comfort working through ambiguity and evolving priorities
Strong organizational and communication skills
Familiarity with common product and collaboration tools (e.g., Linear, Jira, Figma, Miro, etc.)
Helpful but not required:
Experience with AI-driven products or workflows
More than any specific background, we value the ability to take a messy problem and turn it into a shipped product that delivers real value.
