Position Summary & Responsibilities

About Us

At You.com, we are building the AI Search Infrastructure that powers modern AI systems. Our goal is to create the trusted knowledge layer that agents, applications, and enterprises rely on to retrieve real-time, accurate, and citation-backed information.

Our platform combines proprietary vertical indexes with LLM-optimized retrieval systems to power AI agents, applications, and enterprise workflows. We are solving hard problems across search, large language models, and large-scale infrastructure to make AI systems more reliable, transparent, and useful.

Our team includes engineers, researchers, product builders, and operators who care about solving meaningful problems and delivering real-world impact. Whether you are improving core infrastructure, shaping product experiences, or helping bring new AI capabilities to market, your work will help define how modern AI finds and uses knowledge.

The role

This is a hybrid product engineering and GTM role for someone who wants outsized impact at the intersection of all three. You'll own the direction of our API surface — shaping products like real-time monitoring, vertical feeds, and the next generation of agent-native retrieval primitives — while simultaneously sitting across the table from our most important customers to win, deploy, and expand high-value accounts.

You'll be the technical voice customers trust, and the customer voice the engineering team trusts. The insights you bring back from the field will directly shape what we build next.

This role demands high agency, deep customer obsession, and the rare ability to move fluidly between writing a technical product spec, debugging an integration on a customer call, and pitching a CTO on why our API should be core to their stack.

What you'll do

  • Own API product direction. Define the roadmap for our core search APIs and adjacent surfaces — monitoring, vertical feeds, evaluation tooling, and new primitives we haven't built yet. Decide what ships, when, and why.
  • Lead solutions for strategic accounts. Partner directly with the founders and engineering leaders of our top customers and prospects. Architect their integration, unblock their teams, and turn pilots into long-term partnerships.
  • Close the loop. Translate wha
