**About the Client**

Our client is a next generation AI native software company which produces websites in minutes for US real-estate agents.

The team works closely with leadership and builds systems designed for long term scalability.

**software quality, system design, and business alignment**
- A role where
**AI (Cursor and similar tools) writes most or all production code**
- A role with
**direct interaction with leadership,**
including the CEO

**guiding systems,**
not manually producing artifacts

- Translate business goals into technical execution
- You will regularly receive
**high‑level business goals and outcomes**
, not detailed technical specs.
- Understand business intent and translate outcomes into product and technical features
- Help shape solutions collaboratively (this is not a pure Product Manager role, but it requires strong product instincts)
- Own system‑level thinking
- Ensuring systems make sense end‑to‑end
- Preventing architectural entropy
- Keeping AI‑generated changes aligned with long‑term maintainability

**What You Should Bring**
