Product Manager

🏔️ About Sierra Studio

Sierra Studio is an AI engineering studio and startup incubator – we turn our customers’ ideas into reality! We’re based in Los Angeles, but our teammates live all around the world. We create products across all areas of software — from web and mobile apps to cutting-edge work at the forefront of AI and large language models.

💼 About The Role

As a Product Manager, you’ll lead product for one or more initiatives at Sierra. You’ll understand what our customers want, come up with the right set of features, and lead the team to do whatever it takes to ship. You’ll work closely with designers, software engineers, and our leadership team to take new products from idea to production. As an early employee at a startup, you’ll also be part of creating our culture!

Here’s a taste of what you could do at Sierra!

Client projects: Work with a startup founder to build the MVP of their idea
Internal projects: Build an internal AI tool to transform our own workflows
Incubator: Launch a new product that spins off into its own company!
