ResponsibilitiesWe are the Model Strategy & Product team, connecting Seed with developers and enterprises. Our team drives impact in two key directions:
- We identify high‑value needs from developers and enterprise applications, define evaluation frameworks, and guide model capabilities toward AGI.
- We start from model capabilities to uncover unlockable use cases, lead go‑to‑market (GTM) efforts, and bring AI into real‑world applications across industries.

- Identify high‑value developer scenarios (e.g., code synthesis, debugging, tests, refactoring, full‑stack app building) and translate them into a capability roadmap.
- Talk to real developers (internal and external) to deeply understand workflows, pain points, and model failure cases.
- Define model eval standards across languages, tooling coverage, complexity, and correctness (e.g., unit/test frameworks, fuzzing, static analysis).
- Work closely with research, engineering, and eval teams to drive model improvements with measurable impact.
- Passionate about AI and developer tools, with strong intuition for how engineers build software in the real world.
- Strong signal‑gathering instincts across research, tools, prototypes, competitive products, and developer interviews.
- Structured thinker who can turn ambiguous problems into clear metrics, milestones, and decisions.
- Experience in developer tools/enterprise productivity is a plus.
- Experience in software engineering or hands‑on development experience is a strong plus.
