About the RolePine Labs is building the next generation of commerce infrastructure powered by AI. We are looking for a small group of AI Associate Product Managers (AI APMs) who will operate at the intersection of product thinking, AI experimentation, and real customer problems.This is not a traditional product role. AI APMs will act as AI-native product builders — identifying opportunities where AI can transform merchant workflows, rapidly prototyping solutions, and working directly with customers to deploy and iterate on these systems.You will work closely with product, engineering, and enterprise customers to discover problems, prototype solutions, and help scale AI-first capabilities across Pine Labs' platform. What You Will Do1. AI Problem DiscoveryIdentify opportunities where AI can meaningfully improve Pine Labs products and internal workflows.You will:Explore how AI can enhance existing merchant products, payments infrastructure, and operational toolsWork with product teams, operations teams, and support teams to identify high-impact automation opportunitiesConduct rapid problem discovery using data, customer feedback, and internal workflows Goal: uncover high-leverage AI use cases across the organisation. 2. Rapid AI PrototypingAct as the first builder for AI-first product ideas.You will:Build rapid prototypes using modern AI tooling (LLMs, agents, copilots, automation tools)Ship quick proof-of-concepts to validate whether AI can solve a real problemWork with engineering teams to productionise promising prototypesRun experiments to evaluate impact and iterate quicklyGoal: move from idea → working prototype → validated solution in weeks, not months. 3. Forward Deployed AI SolutionsWork directly with Pine Labs’ enterprise customers to design and deploy AI-powered workflows.You will:Partner with large merchants and financial institutions to understand their workflowsDesign AI-enabled solutions tailored to their business needsDeploy pilots and work closely with customers to refine solutionsTranslate customer learnings into scalable product capabilities Goal: ensure Pine Labs’ AI capabilities are built around real customer needs. What We’re Looking ForWe are looking for curious builders who enjoy solving problems with technology.Ideal candidates will have:2–4 years of experience in product, engineering, consulting, or startupsStrong interest in AI and emerging developer toolsAbility to build quick prototypes using modern tools (Python, AI APIs, automation tools, etc.)Strong problem-solving and analytical thinkingComfort working in ambiguous environmentsAbility to work directly with customers and translate problems into solutionsBonus if you have experience with:LLM APIs and agent frameworksdata analysis and experimentationdeveloper tools or automation platformsWhat Success Looks LikeIn the first 12 months, successful AI APMs will:Identify and validate multiple high-impact AI use casesLaunch AI-powered capabilities inside Pine Labs products Build prototypes that become production products
