About The Position

At Knotch, we believe the traditional lines between Product Management and Engineering are disappearing, and the speed of execution is everything. We are looking for a Product Builder who is fundamentally AI-native across the entire product lifecycle. You will leverage AI as a relentless force multiplier for your daily workflows. From using LLMs to synthesize client interviews, to instantly generating PRDs, to firing up Cursor to build prototypes — you own the end-to-end 0-to-1 process. Once your MVP has proven its value, you will partner with our core engineering team to scale it into a production-grade feature. If you are a strategic product leader who views AI as your ultimate execution engine, this role is for you.

Requirements

Experience: 5+ years of experience in Product Management, specifically with a track record of taking complex software products from 0 to 1
AI Tooling Mastery (Strategy & Execution): Advanced prompt engineering skills to synthesize user data, automate documentation, and conduct market research, paired seamlessly with hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code) to generate code and build rapid prototypes.
Technical Foundation: A solid understanding of modern web architecture, APIs, databases, and frontend/backend logic to effectively guide AI coding tools and converse with engineers.
Customer Empathy: Exceptional ability to conduct human-led user interviews, extracting the root problems that you will later feed into your AI workflows for synthesis.

Nice To Haves

Engineering Background (Preferred): 2-3 years of prior experience as a Software Engineer, Full-Stack Developer, or similar technical role. This hands-on foundation is highly preferred for effectively debugging AI-generated code, understanding system architecture, and ensuring smooth technical handoffs.

Responsibilities

AI-Driven Discovery & Synthesis: Use AI tools to ingest, categorize, and extract actionable insights from customer calls, support tickets, and market data.
Accelerate Product Strategy & Documentation: Leverage AI to rapidly draft PRDs, user stories, strategic roadmaps, presentations and GTM plans, moving from a blank page to cross-functional alignment in record time.
Build Rapid Prototypes: Use AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt, or V0 to "vibe-code," build, and ship functional early-stage solutions and MVPs directly to users.
Automate the Product Lifecycle: Apply AI workflows to streamline core PM responsibilities, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and asynchronous stakeholder updates.
Bridge the Handoff: Translate your validated prototypes and AI-synthesized user learnings into clear technical architectures, working closely with Product Engineers to review and scale the solution for the masses.
