Founding Product Architect (AI Orchestration)
Skiffra, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
About Skiffra
Skiffra is building the intelligence layer for modern enterprises. We design AI-native orchestration systems that sit above messy, real-world operations and turn them into intelligent, adaptive workflows.
The Role As a Product Owner / Solution Architect, you will define and shape the workflows Skiffra brings to life. This is a hands‑on, zero‑to‑one role focused on problem framing, system design, and rapid execution — not backlog grooming.
What You’ll Do
Own discovery for complex operational problems and define what should be built
Map and redesign workflows that span people, systems, and data
Translate domain complexity into clear product requirements and system designs
Partner closely with engineering to design AI‑native solutions and ship quickly
Define interfaces, handoffs, and decision logic used by agents and workflows
Work directly with customers and domain experts to validate assumptions
Prioritize ruthlessly as new information emerges
Help set early product culture and operating rhythm
What We’re Looking For
7+ years of relevant experience in product, systems, or solution design roles
Proven ability to define problems before jumping to solutions
Strong systems thinking and comfort with integration‑heavy environments
Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders
Experience working closely with engineers on technical products
Comfort operating in ambiguity and moving quickly
Nice to Have
Experience with enterprise or workflow‑driven software
Exposure to AI‑enabled products or decision systems
Background in operations, finance, or industrial domains
Early‑stage startup or founding‑team experience
How We Work We value speed, clarity, and technical rigor. We favor simple systems over clever ones, prototypes over over‑planning, and ownership over handoffs. You’ll work directly with founders and ship things that matter quickly.
Location & Work Model This is a hybrid role with regular in‑person collaboration in Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area. We are not a remote‑only company.
Work Authorization Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
Benefits & Eligibility This position is eligible for Skiffra’s standard benefits, including health insurance and retirement plans, and may also qualify for participation in the Company’s bonus and incentive programs.
Equal Opportunity Skiffra is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
Compensation Range $150K - $200K
