Vice President of Product and AI (Santa Rosa)

Company Description

Avrio AI is an enterprise-grade autonomous hiring platform. We are not an ATS. We are not a job board. We are AI infrastructure for hiring — purpose-built to match, interview, and score candidates at scale, with full auditability.

Our customers include Randstad and the New York MTA. We have active partnerships with NVIDIA, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, and we are a silver member of the Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation).

AI is the product. Every decision the platform makes is explainable, auditable, and built to perform equitably across diverse candidate populations. We are heading into a significant fundraise and expanding across the EU and US.

Role Description

We are seeking a Vice President of Product and AI for a full-time, remote position. This role will oversee the development and execution of product strategies, aligning them with the company’s mission and business goals. You will lead cross-functional teams to drive product development, manage roadmaps, and integrate AI-driven solutions. Key responsibilities include identifying market trends, analyzing data to inform decision-making, and fostering a culture of innovation. You will play a critical role in scaling our platform to meet the evolving needs of hiring professionals and candidates alike.

- Computer science, machine learning, or engineering background — this is a technical leadership role first, product role second

- Can evaluate engineering tradeoffs, challenge architecture decisions, and hold a peer conversation with an NVIDIA or Azure research team

- Track record building AI-native products — not adding AI to products, but designing systems where AI is the core mechanism

- Experience with AI governance in high-stakes environments — bias detection, model risk, auditability, EU AI Act or equivalent

- Product judgment grounded in market reality — knows when to build, when to buy, and what customers will actually use

- Has built and led technical product and AI teams, not just managed roadmaps

• - Based in or willing to relocate to Boston, New York, or San Francisco
