The thesis is simple: when AI tools can generate working code from precise specs, the slowest step is no longer the spec — it is the PM→Engineer handoff. AI Builders close that gap by owning discovery, specs, prototypes, and production PRs themselves, accelerated by an AI-native pod. As a Senior AI Product Builder at ShipBob, you own the full build loop for your product domain: discovery, story/specs, AI-augmented prototypes, and production-ready PRs. This is not the traditional PM role — you are a builder. You use the AI development toolchain (e.g., Claude Code, Driver.ai) to understand ShipBob’s codebase architecture, generate working code against the actual repo, and ship with minimum engineering rework. The minimum technical floor for this role is real: you must read ShipBob’s data model, evaluate AI-generated scaffolding for correctness, and write story/specs precise enough that AI tools can act on them without follow-up questions. Your domain is Order Management — the decision systems that determine where every order ships from, when it commits to a delivery date, and how routing intelligence translates merchant promises into operational reality. ODM sits at the intersection of Promise, Placement, the routing engine, and the broader Merchant Tech surface. It is one of the highest-leverage product surfaces in the company. This role is for someone energized by speed, uncomfortable with waste, and who measures success by outcomes shipped — not documents approved. You operate in an AI-native pod alongside talented engineers who are ready to support you and push back on solution when needed. This role reports to a Director, AI Product Builder. What you'll do: Own the full product loop end-to-end: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement. You are accountable for the outcome, not just the handoff. Own ShipBob's MCP server and merchant-facing chat capabilities end-to-end. Define the agent surface, ship the integrations, measure adoption. Run customer discovery yourself; use AI tools to synthesize research across tickets, interviews, behavioral data, and competitive signals. Demonstrate deep functional and technical knowledge of owned products end-to-end. Demo to merchants and partners yourself; understand competitive landscape and key differentiators. Use AI tools to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies. Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time — without coaching. Maintain a prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed. Use AI tools to synthesize competitive intelligence, market t…
