Product Manager / Senior Product Manager
✦ New
Salary not disclosed
Los Angeles, CA 13 hours ago
About the job


We are hiring a senior product manager with 5-10 years of experience. This is our first PM hire: you'll work directly with the CEO/Head of Product and be an integral part of how we build.


Solin: The largest marketplace for fitness programs & challenges from creators. We also have a consumer subscription offering (similar to Amazon Prime's subscription) that incorporates AI-personalized nutrition + platform benefits.


Our mission is to make the world a healthier place. We're growing fast, and we're looking to add a product manager to accelerate our product.


Role

Three traits are incredibly important for this role:


  • High-ownership execution: You can independently take a feature from loose problem definition to polished, production-ready feature with strong specs, clear rationale, and thorough edge-case coverage. You also must incorporate feedback quickly: this includes feedback for yourself/role and feedback on our product.
  • Detail-oriented: You must have attention to detail.
  • Sharp product instincts grounded in data: You have strong intuition for what will move users and you back it up with data.


Project Snapshots

Recent advances in AI have expanded what's possible with our product and are a primary focus. Examples of recent projects you would have been involved with:

  • AI Powered & fully featured macro tracker that fit into our consumer subscription
  • Functionality for our AI nutrition agent that enables users to customize high-protein meal plans
  • Integrating AI into our creator onboarding flow to decrease friction and time to launch


Product team & approach

  • Our product approach is focused, fast, and opinionated. We prioritize retention and daily engagement.
  • 90% of your work will be in our app; ~10% will be mobile and desktop browser
  • We prefer to learn quickly through idea iteration and testing new concepts vs. excessive amounts of customer calls or data analysis, fully built-out prototypes, etc. (we do these things, but in moderation)


A bit more

  • Ideally you have a passion for wellness and fitness to align with our mission (make the world a healthier place)
  • Unlimited PTO (just needs to get OK’d by team) + fully covered healthcare (most companies deduct a portion of healthcare premiums from your paycheck - we don’t - we cover it all).


Requirements

  • 5-10 years owning product execution working with design and engineering (mobile-first preferred)
  • Desire and ability to push product fast is necessary. Our pace of iteration will determine our success.
  • Incredibly detail-oriented
  • Experience owning features end-to-end: discovery → scoping → spec → ship → measure
  • Comfortable with data: you can pull your own metrics, run cohort analysis, and design experiments
  • Experience with subscription, habit-forming, or health/fitness products is a strong plus
  • Willingness to work with AI is a must


We are in-office Mon-Fri 8:45a-6pm (our office is on Abbot Kinney in Venice). No exceptions.


Compensation for this role is $130k-$220k depending on your fit and experience.


The product manager we hire is going to join an incredible and growing team. This role comes with real ownership: you’ll be trusted to work autonomously, and as you prove you’re ready, you’ll earn more autonomy. We value great execution and thoughtful, creative solutions. This is hard work, but it's deeply rewarding.

Sr. Simulation Software Engineer
Salary not disclosed
Mountain View, CA 2 days ago

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you will work to shape all aspects of our simulation software stack, including framework performance, flight dynamics modeling, hardware emulation, and simulation-based test infrastructure.

Responsibilities

In your role as Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you will lead projects to develop a robust, deterministic, and scalable software simulation framework to accelerate testing of safety-critical systems. You'll work closely with stakeholders, including flight software, guidance/navigation/control, and hardware test engineers to expand our simulation system. Your work will improve the simulation's core architecture, including performance, reproducibility, and flexibility. You'll evaluate and drive key project decisions while mentoring team members to improve their own skills.

Basic Success Criteria

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent experience

  • 5+ years industry experience in simulation systems within aviation, automotive or comparable environments

  • 7+ years professional experience in object oriented C++ and Python (or other scripting languages)

Preferred Criteria

  • Experience modeling aircraft dynamics

  • Experience developing simulations for safety-critical / DO-178 software and hardware systems

  • Experience architecting complex distributed and real-time software frameworks

  • Strong technical, organizational, and problem-solving skills

  • Excellent documentation and collaboration skills

As a Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you will be part of the Simulation and Test Systems team. The Simulation and Test Systems team is responsible for building the infrastructure necessary to enable the development, test, and deployment of our autonomous aircraft software. You will work closely with the hardware-in-the-loop test environments, high-fidelity physics simulation stack, and cloud-based Monte-Carlo infrastructure to enable the millions of flight equivalent hours necessary to certify our aviation products. These systems provide fast and accurate feedback on the behavior of our system through a wide variety of flight plans, environmental conditions, and system faults.

Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.

The estimated salary range for this position is $215,000 to $300,000/annual salary + cash and stock option awards + benefits. At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.

In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.
