Product Manager

Job Title: Product Manager — AI-native product builder

Experience: 3+ Years

Employment type: Full-time

Location: Chennai (exceptional global candidates may be considered)

Role Overview:

Codewalla is looking for a Product Manager who is becoming a product builder: someone who can move from a messy business problem to evidence, a working prototype, a product decision, shipped software, and a measurable outcome. This is not backlog administration or strategy in isolation; you are expected to get close to the product and help build it.

What we look for:

• Meaningful end-to-end ownership of software products, with strong product sense across problem framing, prioritization, simplification, and trade-offs.
• High agency, curiosity, humility, and strong judgment; willingness to change your mind when evidence changes.
• A builder's instinct: comfort creating prototypes and using modern AI development tools to answer questions yourself.
• Technical fluency to reason about APIs, data, architecture implications, reliability, model behavior, and constraints.
• Evidence-based decision-making using customer research, analytics, operational data, experiments, and product economics.
• Clear writing and communication with global clients and senior stakeholders.

What you will do

• Find the sharp problem behind a request, workflow, or business ambition; make assumptions explicit and challenge the initial solution when evidence points elsewhere.
• Move quickly from discussion to evidence through research, data analysis, interactive prototypes, technical spikes, synthetic scenarios, and small experiments.
• Use AI coding and prototyping tools to explore product behavior yourself and improve collaboration with design and engineering.
• Define measurable customer, operational, and business outcomes before significant engineering investment; shape the smallest responsible release and make trade-offs visible.
• Reduce unnecessary PRDs, meetings, tickets, and handoffs—create only the artifacts that improve decisions and execution.
• Stay involved through implementation, QA/UAT, launch, instrumentation, and post-launch learning; use evidence to decide what to change, continue, or stop.
• Continuously improve how the team builds by experimenting with AI workflows and sharing what works.

Building AI products

• Recognize where AI genuinely changes a workflow or outcome and where conventional software is the better answer.
• Understand model capabilities and limitations well enough to design around what is possible; define evals, test cases, failure taxonomies, quality thresholds, human review, escalation, and feedback loops.
• Treat trust, privacy, security, latency, cost, reliability, and hallucination risk as product constraints—and never confuse a compelling demo with a dependable product.
• Measure AI-enabled work through outcomes such as productivity, cycle time, adoption, conversion, revenue, cost, quality, or risk.
