Technical Product Owner in AI Tools Team / ALF Team

The role

We are looking for a Product Owner for the Alf platform. It is not a conventional feature-team role, and we would rather say so now than discover it together in month three. Roughly half is product ownership of a live AI product with real users and real failure modes. The other half is platform work: defining what belongs to the platform versus what belongs to each team, holding a shared quality bar across all of it, and defining what a team needs to succeed in covering their own area, enabling them to get there. The role also isn’t scoped to Alf alone — it extends to new AI-driven streams as they emerge (MCP tools being one current example).

Your expertise:

• 7+ years in product ownership or product management in a technical product, with clear evidence of independent ownership
• Experience integrating AI capabilities (LLMs, AI APIs, intelligent workflows) into software products
• Strong understanding of AI product development and experience driving AI-related functionality
• Experience owning a platform, API or internal-platform product where other teams were your users
• Experience driving something cross-team — a standard, a contract, a migration — that others had to adopt while you had no authority over them
• Comfortable in Agile delivery with engineers, QA and design

• Hands-on experience building or developing AI-powered products or features

   

Will definitely be a plus:

• Experience with conversational or voice interfaces, including how constraints differ on mobile
• Familiarity with tool-calling architectures or agent frameworks
• Experience with knowledge-base or content pipelines feeding an AI system
• A background in support tooling, escalation flows, or trust and safety
• Exposure to domains, DNS, hosting or email

What’s in it for you?

• Opportunity to deal with top-notch technologies and approaches in a world-leader product company with millions of customers
• Opportunity to make a difference for online privacy, freedom of speech, and net neutrality
• Decent market rate compensation depending on experience and skills
• Developed corporate culture: no micromanagement, culture based on principles of truth, trust, and transparency
• “You build it, you own it” mentality in most contexts
• Support of personal and professional development
  • coverage of costs of external trainings, conferences, professional literature
  • support of experienced colleagues
  • in-house events and trainings
  • regular knowledge sharing in teams
  • English classes and speaking clubs
• Life-balance support
  • truly flexible schedule, no time-tracking at all
  • 25 working days of vacation
  • 5 days of paid sick leave per month (if necessary) without providing a medical certificate
  • generous maternity / paternity leave program
• Professionally strong environment, friendly and open atmosphere, ability to influence the product development and recognition for it

You will be involved into:

• Owning the platform roadmap: routing, context management, model integration, shared tooling, monitoring and testing foundations
• Defining what the platform provides versus what individual teams own — and keeping that line from blurring
• Enabling teams that take on an assistant in their own domain: what’s expected of them, and the support they need to meet it
• Owning and defining how sensitive or complex operations are surfaced and controlled in a conversation
• Defining quality and safety requirements, and driving an evaluation approach that catches regressions before customers do
• Turning quality and operational signals into prioritised improvements
• Preparing backlog items that are ready to build, including failure handling and acceptance criteria
• Working with UX and engineering on flows where the interaction model itself is the hard part
• Maintaining a big-picture view of system health and success criteria across every team building on Alf, and identifying what needs attention
