Product Lead

Design and build the system that turns real-world actions into verifiable data and scalable content.

  • Fractional founder role · keep your current job
  • ~20% equity · standard vesting and contribution terms
  • Founding team of a company being built from day one

Role summary

A system design role at the intersection of AI, data, and behavior.

This is not a feature-driven product role.

You will define how actions become data, how data becomes content, and how content drives new actions.

Engagement model

Designed as a fractional founder position.

In return, you receive ~20% equity, subject to standard vesting and contribution terms.

For details on structure, time commitment, and conditions, refer to the FAQ.

  • You do not need to leave your current job.
  • You contribute part-time, focused on high-leverage decisions and system design.
  • You work as part of the founding team of the company.

What you'll be working on

  • Building the full loop: action → proof → data → content → distribution → new action.
  • Designing how real-world actions are captured, validated, and structured.
  • Defining AI pipelines for generating video and content from those actions.
  • Turning images and videos into structured, analyzable datasets.
  • Creating measurement systems for impact and distribution across platforms.
  • Connecting compliance requirements (auditability) with marketing systems.

Core responsibilities

  • Translate an ambiguous, high-level vision into a working system.
  • Act as the bridge between business, product, and engineering.
  • Define data models for actions, validation, and content generation.
  • Work directly with AI and engineering on video generation, computer vision pipelines, and content automation.
  • Design feedback loops between participation, content, and reach.
  • Own how impact is measured, validated, and reported.

What we are NOT looking for

  • People who only manage roadmaps and tickets.
  • People without hands-on understanding of AI systems.
  • People who optimize existing funnels but don't design new systems.
  • People who need fully defined specs before acting.

Required profile

  • Proven ability to design systems, not just features.
  • Experience building or working with AI-native products.
  • High tolerance for ambiguity and fast iteration.
  • Strong product intuition combined with technical depth.

Key capabilities

AI & content generation, data, distribution, measurement.

AI & Content Generation — deep understanding of AI video generation workflows, experience with multimodal systems (image, video, text), and the ability to define automated content pipelines end-to-end.

Data & Computer Vision — ability to extract structured data from unstructured media, understanding of classification, tagging, and validation systems, and experience designing data models from real-world inputs.

Marketing & Distribution — strong understanding of social media dynamics and content propagation, experience measuring performance across platforms, and the ability to connect content generation with distribution outcomes.

Impact & Measurement — ability to design systems where actions are measurable and auditable, and an understanding of how to link real-world behavior with digital metrics.

Why this role is hard

You are building a product where reality is the input.

Few products operate across all three layers simultaneously.

  • The input is real-world human behavior.
  • The system must validate reality.
  • The output is content that drives more behavior.

Why it matters

KINDA connects compliance, AI, and distribution.

This role defines how those layers become one system.

  • Compliance — auditability of impact.
  • AI — content generation and analysis.
  • Distribution — social propagation.

Success looks like

  • A reliable system to capture and validate real-world actions.
  • Scalable pipelines that convert actions into content.
  • Clear measurement of both impact and distribution.
  • A self-reinforcing loop between participation, content, and reach.

Ideal background

  • Product Lead in AI-native or data-heavy products.
  • Experience in creator tools, marketing tech, or social platforms.
  • Exposure to computer vision, generative AI, or media systems.
  • Comfortable operating across business, product, and engineering.

"Build the system where reality becomes data, data becomes content, and content drives behavior."
