[Hiring] AI Product Lead @Valsoft Corporation

Role Description

The AI Lead is responsible for identifying, building, validating, and scaling AI-powered product solutions that drive real customer and business outcomes. This role is hands-on and AI-first.

The AI Lead does everything an AI Product Engineer does - plus owns customer discovery, validation, prioritization, and measurable impact.
