Product Lead - Applied AI

Lila Sciences is building a scientific superintelligence platform and autonomous lab to accelerate discovery in life, chemistry, and materials science. The founding Product Lead for Applied AI will translate Lila’s core AI capabilities into production tools and workflows that empower scientists — owning strategy, user research, specs, and delivery while partnering closely with ML and engineering teams.

Skills

  • Proven product management experience delivering technically complex, user-centric products from concept to production.
  • Hands-on experience shipping AI/ML-powered features in production and understanding common failure modes.
  • Strong technical fluency to collaborate deeply with ML and software engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated user research skills and strong product sense for simplifying complex user problems.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment with a bias for action.

Responsibilities

  • Define product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Applied AI layer focused on scientific workflows (e.g., literature review, protocol generation, data analysis).
  • Lead end-to-end product development: user research, requirements, wireframes, specs, implementation, launch, and iteration.
  • Work closely with ML researchers and engineers to identify production-ready techniques and design robust, scalable solutions.
  • Conduct deep qualitative research with scientists to uncover high-impact use cases and validate product hypotheses.
  • Establish and track simple, meaningful metrics to measure product impact on scientific outcomes.
  • Act as internal subject-matter expert on the applied AI landscape; evaluate new models and tools to inform roadmap.
  • Champion user needs across teams to ensure products are intuitive, reliable, and deliver measurable value.
  • Own stakeholder communication and align cross-functional teams on priorities and delivery timelines.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical or scientific field or equivalent practical experience.
  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in life sciences, chemistry, physics, materials science, computer science, or related field is a plus.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits (typical startup benefits)
  • Generous PTO and flexible time off
  • Collaborative environment working with world-class ML researchers and scientists
  • Professional development and learning opportunities
