Head of Product Management - Lovelace AI

About Us:

Lovelace AI was born from the desire to apply state of the art AI and systems engineering to the question of human safety, especially in dangerous conditions such as conflict, disaster response, anti-terrorism and deterrence against AIs designed by adversaries to harm civilians.

How many lives can be saved by taming the information overload, confusion and conflicting priorities experienced by the people responsible for dealing with dangerous situations around the world? We believe the answer is potentially dramatic, and we are determined to create a team with the wisdom, skills, brainpower, thoughtfulness and experience to make this vision real.

With a team of gifted engineers, scientists, and national security experts, Lovelace has built an MVP of an AI to provide considerable help in national security decision scenarios. The product is still in stealth mode. Lovelace was created by a team of experienced leaders and engineers from Google, DoD, and Amazon who have successfully deployed numerous real-time AI decision systems. We have amassed initial design partners and more than 50 use cases throughout the worlds of public safety and international trade. 

Job Summary:

• We need a product leader to set our path towards a complete software product subject to dozens of essential constraints arising from the importance of safety, security and unique customer needs. The successful candidate will be working with a dream team of technologists and domain experts.

• Responsible for the design and execution of PRDs that guide, triage and prioritize our software and science teams
• Very hands-on focus on the minutiae of developing a first-in-class product in a fast-moving and safety critical vertical
• Define and monitor key metrics to measure product success, using data to guide decisions and validate hypotheses
• Foster a collaborative environment that bridges business and technical teams. Provide honest feedback, drive best practices, and cultivate an open, inclusive company culture.
• Active TS/SCI clearance or willingness to acquire and maintain one

Qualifications:

• 5 years in software product development
• Deep understanding of artificial intelligence technologies
• Must be a US Citizen.

Preferred Skills:

• Significant understanding of backend technologies
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Demonstrated success in decomposing complex problems into manageable components
• Proven ability to motivate cross functional teams to do their best work
• Commercial, Defense, or aerospace domain familiarity through industry or education
• Experience working in an aerospace, defense or self-driving modeling and simulation, or robotics background

Benefits:

LovelaceAI offers competitive compensation packages, comprehensive benefits. We provide a supportive and inclusive work environment where your skills and expertise can make a significant impact on the safety and security of our communities.

Lovelace’s founding team includes:

Andrew Moore, who has a track record of building impactful AI systems, designing them with human rights impact assessments as a top priority, leading the AI division of one of the world’s foremost cloud companies, and actively participating in machine learning and AI research over the past two decades.

Brendan Dunne, a career Special Operations veteran and retired Army officer who has led high performing cross functional teams the past 20 years in the country’s premier national mission force.  He was most recently in charge of US Special Operations Command’s Global Analytics Platform (aka the GAP), one of DoD’s leading technology platforms.

Toby Smith, well known in the Pittsburgh Tech community for his engineering leadership and design skills, and who has led many of the most ambitious and complex system infrastructure projects in Google Pittsburgh and NetApp.  

Here is a note from Andrew Moore to people who are reading these Job Postings:

“Hi folks, I’m so glad you are potentially interested in Lovelace AI. This area means a lot to me because while I am an AI optimist, I also think that we technologists owe it to a rightly skeptical world to show that modern intelligent systems can actually be useful. Usefulness comes in many guises: from life sciences to education and from transportation to entertainment and many others. For many of us, security and public safety is also very high on that list. That reasoning leads to this conclusion: I’m determined to make sure that the people building Lovelace AI gain a lot from the experience, including the chance to solve fascinating problems in computer science, AI, business development, customer success and product management. I also hope that we all learn from each other in a highly enriching work environment. But my main hope is that we have a shared sense of accomplishment as we see an increasing number of national security and public safety domains made safer through sensible and robust use of advanced computer science."
