As the founding Product Lead for Applied AI, you will be at the heart of translating Lila’s foundational AI capabilities into tangible, transformative tools for scientific discovery. You will define the strategy and lead the execution to embed the latest advancements in AI directly into the scientific workflow (think tools & agents for lit review, protocol development, data analysis, etc.). Your work will directly accelerate research, empowering scientists to ask bigger questions and find answers faster than ever before. PM at Lila is a high-ownership, hands-on job. You will be the bridge between the bleeding edge of AI and the practical needs of the scientist, and own the entire product lifecycle from user research and rapid whiteboarding to shipping and iterating on production systems. Your product sense and stakeholder conversations will determine which tools and techniques move from buzzy whitepapers into indispensable capabilities in our product.

Launch novel, user-facing features and products that leverage the latest tools and techniques in thoughtful, meaningful ways that work in production.
Lead the end-to-end product development process, from conducting deep user research with scientists to writing specs, wireframing concepts, and working with engineers to build and launch.
Partner closely with our world-class ML and software engineering teams to discern what is technically possible and creatively apply it to user problems, separating production-ready solutions from mere demos.
