AI in this role
About TypeSafe
TypeSafe AI is an AI lab building machine-native intelligence infrastructure for automation, designed to make decisions within software by combining the intelligence of LLMs with the efficiency and reliability of code into a new shape of AI: System One Models. Based in San Francisco, TypeSafe AI recently launched its first public model, Jev.
While others chase benchmarks and academic puzzles, we’ve been quietly rethinking the LLM stack from first principles — building a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production.
We’re a small, fast-moving team from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, we’ve been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current “state-of-the-art” — a model that actually gets things done.
About the role
As a Product Manager at TypeSafe, you'll help shape the product direction and experience of Jev, working closely with our CEO and engineering teams to bring frontier AI capabilities to developers and users.
This is a rare opportunity to define an exciting new AI product from the ground up. You'll be responsible for translating rapidly evolving model capabilities into compelling product experiences, identifying what to build next, and driving execution from early ideas through launch and iteration.
We're looking for someone with exceptional product taste, strong technical intuition, and the ability to move quickly in a highly ambiguous environment. You'll need to think strategically about where Jev should be headed while being equally comfortable diving into product details, talking to developers, analyzing usage data, and shipping improvements.
As an early member of the team, you'll have significant ownership and influence over both our product and how we build.
We expect that you
Are responsible, ownership-inclined, and a team player – you believe there is no such thing as "not my problem", and will happily roll up your sleeves to get things done
Have experience building and shipping technical products from 0 to 1, ideally for developers
Have strong technical intuition and can go deep with jevingeers on architecture, tradeoffs, and product decisions
Have exceptional product taste and can turn user feedback into clear priorities and product requirements
Are comfortable moving fast, working hard, and making decisions with incomplete information
Are mission aligned and excited to go all-in
Love being part of a team
We are hoping that you
Have previously built products for developers
Have 5+ years of product management experience, ideally building highly technical products at a company with a high product and engineering bar
Have taken products from 0 to 1 and scaled them
Have experience building developer-facing products, APIs, or infrastructure tools, and understand what makes for a great developer experience
Life at TypeSafe

We want TypeSafe to be the place where you do the most impactful work of your career and help define our future as a company.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- What's a project where you used OpenAI hands-on?
- Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
- If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: OpenAI. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
