Founding Product Manager

Here's what we've learned building an AI-native company with an exceptional engineering team: engineering speed is no longer the constraint. When your team can ship in days,
product becomes the bottleneck — not for lack of ideas or customer understanding, but because someone has to apply sharp product judgment and define exactly the right capabilities, with clarity and precision.

That's the role. Discovery and problem identification are table stakes.

The real work is turning customer needs and fast-moving AI capabilities into concise, buildable specs and clear workflows — deciding what matters, cutting what doesn't, and defining how the product actually behaves down to the details.

• A PM whose core strength is judgment — you know which capability isthe right one, and you can articulate it precisely
• A writer of specs — or live mocks — engineers love: short,unambiguous, ready to build
• Strong on UX and UI — you have real instincts for how things should look and feel, whether it's for an app or an MCP
• AI-native and hands-on — you use AI tools directly every day and understand what models can and can't do
• Fast — comfortable moving at the pace of an engineering team thatships constantly

• Founding-level ownership and direct access to the founders — realinfluence over what Trayo becomes; your specs are what the team builds
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
• Small team, high trust, real impact
• Hybrid flexibility; collaboration hub in San Mateo
