About the Role
QV.AC is a general purpose AI assistant that runs locally on your devices, giving users greater control over their data and how they use artificial intelligence. Our focus is on local, on-device, and privacy-preserving AI, with opportunities to connect these experiences across the company's peer-to-peer ecosystem. We’re looking for a Product Manager with a strong interest in AI and a practical understanding of how to turn emerging capabilities into useful products. You will work closely with the Product Lead to help advance the QV.AC vision: identifying valuable use cases, defining AI features, exploring product concepts, and working with engineering and design to bring them to users. You’ll contribute to product direction and take responsibility for moving assigned features from discovery through delivery and iteration. This role suits someone who knows how to leverage AI to the maximum and enjoys experimenting with new AI technologies, understands its possibilities and limitations, and cares about making complex technology easy to use.

Responsibilities
- Help shape AI features: Work with the Product Lead to translate the QV.AC vision into concrete use cases, feature proposals, and product requirements. Bring ideas grounded in user needs, research, and hands-on experimentation.
- Understand users and their problems: Gather feedback, conduct research, and explore how people use AI in their everyday workflows. Identify where AI can solve a meaningful problem and where a simpler solution may work better.
- Turn ideas into clear specifications: Write product briefs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and user flows that help engineering and design understand the intended experience, constraints, and measures of success.
- Prototype and explore: Create wireframes, mockups, and working prototypes to test ideas and communicate product behavior. Use AI-assisted tools to explore concepts quickly and refine them with the team.
- Collaborate on technical trade-offs: Work with engineers to understand what is feasible across devices and models. Help assess the impact of response quality, latency, memory usage, battery consumption, and privacy on the user experience.
- Support prioritization and planning: Help the Product Lead evaluate opportunities, clarify scope, identify dependencies, and maintain a focused backlog aligned with product priorities.
- Drive feature delivery: Follow assigned features through development, resolve product questions, review the experience, and coordinate feedback and release readiness with relevant teams.
- Stay close to AI developments: Explore new AI products, models, tools, and interaction patterns, and explain their practical relevance to QV.AC. Share clear recommendations about what is worth testing or adopting and why.
Mandatory Requirements
- 7+ years of product management experience, ideally working on AI software products with technical engineering teams.
- Practical experience building, shipping, or prototyping AI-powered features, with the ability to explain your contribution and what you learned.
- A working understanding of AI concepts such as inference, harnesses, model capabilities and limitations, context, and evaluation, alongside an interest in local and on-device AI.
- The ability to translate an ambiguous idea into a clear user problem, proposed solution, and actionable requirements.
- Strong product judgment, with attention to usability, scope, and measurable user value.
- Confidence creating prototypes using design or coding tools.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to discuss technical trade-offs with engineers and explain them to non-technical colleagues.
- A proactive, collaborative approach: comfortable taking responsibility for your work, asking questions early, and incorporating feedback.
- Familiarity with product analytics, user research, and iterative software development.
Preferred Requirements
- Experience with local AI, on-device inference, or open-source models.
- Experience building AI assistants, conversational interfaces, or multimodal features.
- Familiarity with desktop or mobile product development.
- An understanding of peer-to-peer technologies and decentralized applications.
- Experience evaluating AI output quality and designing user experiences that account for uncertainty and errors.
- Experience working in a distributed team.
