Senior Product & Delivery Lead (AINative)

Vallettasoftware - custom mobile/web software developer in the US and Europe. Our teams implement IT projects of varying complexity, including website and mobile app development, enterprise systems, and solutions based on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).

Our company has earned a place among Clutch's Fall 2025 Champions. These awards confirm that we are a Top 15 AI Agent Developing companies!

We are a distributed team - you can work from any place in the world, except RF and RB, ensuring silence, good internet connection, availability and proper environment .

We are looking for a product‑obsessed delivery leader who doesn’t just manage roadmaps but builds products hands‑on with AI.

You will own the full product lifecycle — from client discovery and backlog prioritisation to deployment and iteration — while actively using AI‑assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate delivery.

This is not a pure PM role and not a pure engineering role.
It’s a hybrid: you define the “what” and the “why”, but you also understand the “how” well enough to review code, unblock teams, and even prototype features yourself when needed.

Key Responsibilities

Product & Delivery

Lead client‑facing discovery sessions; translate business goals into clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

Own 6–12 month product roadmaps — prioritise features based on business value (RICE, WSJF) and critical path.

Act as the primary escalation point for delivery risks, scope changes, and stakeholder alignment.

Run Agile ceremonies (Scrum / Kanban) and maintain Jira + Confluence for full transparency.

Introduce feature flags, staged rollouts, and deployment guardrails to reduce post‑release incidents.

Drive product metrics — funnel conversion, retention, LTV, cohort analysis — and use them to prioritise.

AI‑First Execution

Actively use Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to:

Prototype MVPs (from 1 day to 1 week depending on scope)

Validate architecture and business logic early

Speed up development without sacrificing quality

Read, review, and understand generated code — you don’t just copy‑paste, you ensure the architecture scales.

Refactor, debug, and stress‑test features with AI for missing business logic before they reach production.

Technical & Architecture Oversight

Make architectural decisions with a senior engineering mindset — ensure solutions are legitimate, scalable, and production‑ready.

Oversee CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and infrastructure decisions (even if you don’t write every line of code).

Coordinate cross‑functional teams (backend, mobile, QA, UI/UX, vendors) to deliver complex products on time.

Team & Organisational Growth

(Optional but preferred) Experience building delivery teams from scratch — hiring, onboarding, setting performance reviews, career paths.

Mentor product and engineering team members, instil a delivery‑first culture, and maintain high quality standards.

What You Bring

Must‑Haves

8+ years in product management, delivery leadership, or technical product ownership.

Proven track record of shipping complex products — IoT, WebRTC, AI/ML, payment infrastructure, marketplaces, or B2B SaaS.

Hands‑on experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI‑assisted development tools — not just using ChatGPT, but building production‑ready systems.

Strong product sense: you can run discovery, define MVPs, and prioritise based on business impact, not just feature requests.

Solid technical foundation — you understand architecture, APIs, databases, CI/CD, and can review code/design docs with confidence.

Excellent stakeholder management — you talk fluently with executives, engineers, designers, and clients.

Native or C2 English (written and spoken).

Nice‑to‑Have

Experience building and scaling a delivery organisation (hiring, processes, career paths).

Background in software engineering (senior dev / tech lead) before moving into product.

Experience with startups or consulting — comfort with ambiguity and fast‑paced environments.

Knowledge of SQL, Firebase, Amplitude, or similar analytics/BI tools.

Why Join Us

Work on meaningful products with real clients and users.

Full ownership — from discovery to deployment, with no hand‑offs.

Autonomy to choose the right tools (including AI) and shape the delivery process.

Remote‑first culture, flexible hours, and a team that values outcomes over hours.
