Founding Product Lead

We're looking for a Founding Product Lead to help define what Hyper Dev becomes, who we build for, and how we turn an ambitious vision into a product developers love and use.

You’ll work directly with our Founder to own product strategy, customer discovery, and the roadmap, partnering closely with engineering and design to bring ideas to life. You’ll connect what developers need with what our technology can deliver and what will build a sustainable business.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll talk to users, map workflows, prototype ideas, write clear product briefs, and work alongside engineers to ship and improve the experience. You should be comfortable moving between a conversation about company direction and the details of why a developer gets stuck in onboarding.

You’ll bring a founder’s sense of ownership: challenging assumptions, making decisions with incomplete information, and taking responsibility for outcomes after launch. You’ll know when to experiment, when to invest in quality, and when to say "not yet" while keeping the team moving.

Above all, you believe AI should amplify human judgment, and you want to shape how that works in a real product.

• Work with our Co-Founders to define the product vision, target users, and the problems Hyper Dev is best placed to solve
• Turn that direction into a focused roadmap, balancing customer needs, commercial opportunities, and technical constraints
• Make clear prioritisation decisions, explaining what we're building, why it matters, and what we're choosing to defer
• Stay close to developments in AI and developer tooling, using that understanding to sharpen our positioning and product choices

• Build direct relationships with developers and early customers through interviews, workflow observation, and regular feedback
• Identify where existing tools fall short and which problems are important enough for users to change how they work
• Test assumptions through prototypes, experiments, and early releases before committing substantial engineering time
• Bring customer evidence into everyday decisions and close the loop with users as the product evolves

• Own the product journey from discovery and definition through delivery, launch, and iteration
• Translate problems into clear product briefs, user journeys, and acceptance criteria that give engineering and design room to solve them well
• Work alongside the team to prototype experiences, resolve trade-offs, and keep delivery focused
• Take responsibility for the details that make developer tools feel intuitive: onboarding, feedback, error recovery, and the path to a first useful result

• Define where AI should act independently, where people should review or intervene, and how users retain control of the result
• Partner with engineering to evaluate AI-powered workflows for usefulness, reliability, speed, and cost
• Make transparency, understandable outputs, and recovery from mistakes part of the core product experience
• Treat trust, security, and code ownership as product requirements from the outset

• Define success measures across activation, engagement, retention, and conversion, with a clear view of the value users receive
• Establish lightweight analytics and feedback loops so the team can see what is working and what needs to change
• Work with our Co-Founders to test pricing, packaging, and routes to market
• Help shape launches, positioning, and product demonstrations that communicate Hyper Dev's value clearly
• Use evidence from real usage to decide what to improve, expand, or stop
