Product Builder

Product Builder

Product Builder is a junior to mid-level, highly versatile product generalist who helps turn strategy into shipped products and agents orting into Product, but assigned to the Wheels X speedboat team, you will own product discovery, requirements, and delivery for high-impact initiatives, particularly across vehicle registration (initial and renewals) and operational products, ensuring engineers and AI agents are always working against clear, well-scoped problems definitions.

This is a hands-on builder role: part product manager, part agent builder, part product designer, part technical problem-solver. You will run discovery with operations, clients, drivers and our Product Operations Leader, translate user needs into crisp requirements, partner closely with engineers day-to-day, and push work across the finish line. Paired with a deeply technical engineering team, this position emphasizes hands-on product development and technical problem-solving over operational work.

Success in this role means accelerating velocity, reducing rework, and unlocking EBITDA impact—by making sure the right product work happens before engineers build. You will thrive in ambiguity, move fast without perfect information, and take full ownership of outcomes.
