About the role
- AI-native tooling handles a significant portion of what product managers, UX designers, and engineers have historically spent their time on.
- That time is yours to redirect toward higher-leverage work.
- You interpret what it means for the roadmap and make the call.
Responsibilities
- Write clear intent documents that AI tooling can execute against; review and own both AI-generated specs and AI-generated code for accuracy, completeness, and correctness.
- Track adoption, usage, and business outcome metrics; use them to drive the next iteration, not just to report status.
- These solutions come together in the OpenGov ERP, allowing public sector organizations to focus on priorities and deliver maximum ROI with every dollar and decision in sync.
- Join a trusted team with the passion, technology, and expertise to drive innovation and bring AI to local government.
Requirements
- 6 to 9 years of experience spanning product ownership and hands-on software engineering, with a track record of shipping production code in a SaaS environment.
- Proficiency in modern web technologies (TypeScript, React) and comfort picking up the specific stack used by OG Assist.
- Experience representing products in customer-facing forums (QBRs, discovery sessions, executive reviews).
- escalate to Experience Architects only when genuinely new system-level patterns are required.
- Experience building with or on top of LLMs or AI agents in production is a strong plus.
- Demonstrated ability to own projects end to end, provide technical direction to peers, and keep stakeholders informed.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; documents decisions clearly and influences others through structured reasoning.
- Comfortable defining UX flows and working within a design system, with the technical range to implement what you design.
- Fluent in AI-native workflows for both product and engineering work; can identify gaps in AI tooling and articulate platform investment needs.
Compensation
- Boston, MA: $165,000 - $183,000
- On target ranges above include base plus a portion of variable compensation that is earned based on company and individual performance.
- The final compensation will be determined by a number of factors such as qualifications, expertise, and the candidate's geographical location.
Benefits
- Comprehensive healthcare options for individuals and families
- Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
- Paid parental leave, wellness stipends, and HSA contributions
- Refine and communicate the product vision for OG Assist, grounded in customer research, competitive context, and business goals; not inherited from committee.
- Identify gaps in AI harnesses, design system coverage, and platform capability; close the ones you can yourself and surface the rest as investment requests with clear business justification.
