This is not the traditional PM role — you are a builder.

ai) to understand ShipBob's codebase architecture, generate working code against the actual repo, and ship to production with minimum engineering rework. The minimum technical floor for this role is real: you must read ShipBob's data model, evaluate AI-generated scaffolding for correctness, and write story/specs precise enough that AI tools can act on them without follow-up questions. You will be part of the Sortation Technology team.

We build the products behind every point where ShipBob physically sorts inventory: Inbound presort at receiving Outbound parcel sortation feeding final-mile injection B2B freight sortation to build retail or wholesale pallets Returns sortation routing units back to inventory or disposition As volume grows across time-sensitive marketplace and B2B channels, sortation has become a direct lever on merchant outcomes: on-time shipping, marketplace and retailer compliance, inventory accuracy, and the tracking experience end-consumers see. Sortation sits at the intersection of physical operations and digital systems, where small execution gaps compound into merchant-visible failures — making this one of the highest-leverage product surfaces at ShipBob. This PM owns the products that determine whether units move to the right place, at the right time, and whether what we tell merchants matches what's happening on the floor.

This role is for someone energized by speed, uncomfortable with waste, and who measures success by outcomes shipped — not documents approved. You operate in an AI-native pod alongside an AI Engineer, AI/Prompt Engineer, and Designer. This role reports to a Director, AI Product Builder.

What You'Ll Do

: Own the full product loop independently: AI-augmented discovery → story/spec → prototype → production PR → outcome measurement. You are accountable for the outcome, not just the handoff. Conduct customer discovery and use AI tools to synthesize research across tickets, interviews, behavioral data, and competitive signals.

Demonstrate deep functional and technical knowledge of owned products end-to-end. Demo to merchants and partners; understand competitive landscape and key differentiators. Use AI tools to analyze product metrics, identify usage patterns, and surface anomalies.

Define success metrics and kill thresholds at spec time without coaching. Maintain a prioritized roadmap ranked by impact × speed.
