About Auric AI
Auric AI is developing the world's most advanced AI-powered vision intelligence platform for defense applications
Defense and military organizations today receive overwhelming volumes of visual data from satellites and drones. Processing this manually is slow, expensive, and error-prone. Our mission is to use AI-powered vision systems to detect and classify high-value military objects such as tanks, artillery, radars, and missile launchers so analysts and commanders can act faster and with greater confidence.
We’re a fast-moving defense technology startup, combining world-class AI research with real-world military applications to create intelligence platforms that can make a difference where time and trust matter most.
The Role
We’re hiring a Product Manager to lead the development of our Vision Intelligence Platform.
This is not a traditional PM role. You will:
- Think from first principles to design workflows that make AI useful in mission-critical contexts.
- Translate AI research into usable, analyst-facing products.
- Balance speed, trust, and usability when making product decisions.
- Be AI-native using the latest AI tools to build wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and demo flows at speed.
- You will own the end-to-end product experience: defining workflows, designing intuitive screens, prioritizing features, and ensuring analysts receive intelligence they can trust all within minutes of image arrival.
What You’ll Do
- Define the product vision and articulate a clear north star for the platform.
- Build and communicate a roadmap balancing near-term MVP delivery with long-term platform growth.
- Map the full analyst journey: image ingestion → preprocessing → AI detection → quality review → database → dissemination.
- Work with engineers and designers to create intuitive, analyst-ready screens.
- Use AI-powered tools (e.g., Figma plugins, AI prototyping, AI design assistants) to generate wireframes and demo flows rapidly.
- Define MVP scope and ruthlessly separate must-haves from nice-to-haves.
- Make trade-offs between speed-to-decision, detection accuracy, and user trust.
- Translate requirements into clear PRDs and product specs.
- Drive collaboration between AI researchers, engineers, and domain experts.
- Ensure reliability and quality in product releases.
- User & Stakeholder Engagement
- Engage with analysts, retired officers, and other stakeholders to understand workflows.
- Synthesize fragmented feedback into coherent product direction.
- Define and track success metrics: time-to-insight, adoption, accuracy, and trust in outputs.
- Use feedback and data to iterate rapidly.
What We’re Looking For
- AI-native builder: highly proficient in using AI tools for prototyping, wireframing, and creating demo flows.
- First principles thinker who simplifies complex problems into clear workflows.
- Technical fluency: understand how AI and software systems work, even if you don’t code daily.
- User empathy: can design for non-technical users working under pressure.
- Execution strength: bias for rapid prototyping, iteration, and delivery.
- Communication skills: able to align researchers, engineers, and defense users.
- Prior startup/founder experience or exposure to AI/ML products is a strong plus.
Why Join Us
- Work on one of the hardest, most impactful problems in defense AI.
- Collaborate with a small, world-class team of researchers and engineers.
- High ownership from day one shapes the platform, not just maintains it.
- Move fast, learn fast, we build, test, and iterate aggressively.
- Be part of a mission-driven company where AI meets national security.
Auric AI is building the future of defense intelligence. If you’re an AI-native product builder who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment, we’d love to hear from you.
