Weaviate is an AI startup with open source and creativity at its core. Our AI-native vector database uses machine learning to
create meaningful insights from unstructured data in a completely new way. Named one of Forbes’ Top 50 AI startups, and with over
a million monthly downloads, Weaviate is quickly growing in popularity with developers and enterprises alike.
Our team members work remotely across the globe with the flexibility to work from anywhere and at any time. Our people experience
this as a massive benefit! Operating with a strong sense of ownership and collaboration, our teams prioritize results while
empowering each individual to do their best work.
The Weaviate Database is the open-source engine behind how developers store, search, and work with AI-native data. It’s the
foundation that Weaviate Cloud, Query Agent, and Engram are built on. As the product lead, you'll own direction across the full
stack: storage and schema, production scale, developer integrations, and search quality. You'll be the connective tissue between
engineering and the business, translating customer needs into requirements, sequencing work across teams, and making sure what
ships lands well in market.
You thrive in technically complex domains and know how to earn the trust of engineers. You care as much about why customers need
something as what they're asking for, and you'll push back when the ask doesn't match the underlying problem. You bring structure
to ambiguity without creating bureaucracy, and you treat a clear roadmap as a forcing function for good decisions, not a planning
ritual.
You're a strong communicator, moving fluidly between customer discovery, cross-team coordination, and GTM partnership. You're
aligned with our company values and bring a collaborative mindset and a bias toward shipping.
