Why this role is special?
You’ll be defining the roadmap, owning product strategy, and leading all things tech in a company where tech is not a support function—it is the business.
This is a unique opportunity to:
First and mostly build something that matters—measurable environmental impact is built into our KPIs
Shape the product vision from zero to one (and beyond)
Lead and grow the tech/product team from scratch
Co-pilot with the founders on strategy, business models and funding
Responsibilities
Define and own the product roadmap, working closely with design, commercial, ops, and customers
Lead the technical architecture and execution—from scrappy MVPs to scalable platforms
Be hands-on: whether it’s writing user stories, testing prototypes, setting up no-code automations, or reviewing API calls, you’ll be in the trenches
Wear multiple hats across product, tech, data, and operations—this is a builder role, not just a helicopter view
Set up processes, tools, and rituals for a high-performing product & engineering team
Drive experimentation, data-informed decisions, and fast validation loops
Manage external developers and partners, ensuring quality and momentum
Stay close to users and customers to ensure we’re solving real problems with real impact
What We’re Looking For?
Seasoned in product, engineering or hybrid leadership roles.
Experience owning end-to-end product lifecycle in a startup, consulting or high-growth environment.
Experience leading the technical development of a digital product, ideally involving AI, computer vision, or edge computing.
Strong familiarity with cloud platforms (preferably GCP), including tools like Vertex AI, Compute Engine, and Cloud Storage.
Comfortable working with or managing image datasets, training loops, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Solid understanding of hardware–software integration, especially with mobile devices or IoT-style setups.
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to break down complexity into actionable steps.
Strong communication skills, able to collaborate across teams and explain tech decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
Fluent in Spanish and English.
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or equivalent hands-on experience.
