[Hiring] AI Product Lead @Granicus

Role Description

Granicus serves more than 7,000 public-sector agencies and powers approximately 30 billion digital interactions annually. Within the Office of the CTO, we operate an AI-native software development lifecycle: a production engineering model in which autonomous agents perform high-confidence implementation work and senior engineers orchestrate, review, and own the outcome.

This role joins one of those teams. Our engineering standards are calibrated to the practices used by leading software and AI organizations:

• Generator-verifier architecture
• Eval-driven development
• Staged deployment
• High-volume autonomous pull-request pipelines

Operating constraints (non-negotiable):

• Agents execute only within branches; all agent-generated code passes senior human review before merging to production.
• Autonomous execution is a force multiplier and does not transfer accountability away from the responsible engineer.
• Compliance obligations — NIST 800-53 Rev 5, WCAG, SOC 2, and applicable FedRAMP authorizations — are treated as engineering requirements and a source of competitive advantage.

This role consolidates the product, design, and delivery-leadership disciplines into a single accountable owner who synthesizes them rather than displacing the specialists who practice them. The role translates product intent into shipped, compliant software by directing the agent array and implementing front-end experiences directly. It combines the responsibilities of a staff product engineer, a design engineer, and an engineering manager, and requires demonstrated capability across all three.

Qualifications

• End-to-end product delivery as a builder.
• Production front-end engineering.
• Design discipline.
• Direction of AI coding agents.
• A track record of defining how teams work.
• High autonomy under ambiguity.

Requirements

• High-assurance or regulated delivery experience.
• Public-sector or govtech product experience.
• Design-systems ownership.
• Experience operating within an eval-driven or test-first engineering culture.

Benefits

• Flexible Time Off – Take the time you need to rest, recharge, and live your life.
• Company-Wide Wellbeing Days – Paid days off to unplug and focus on your mental health.
• Work From Home Reimbursement – Support a productive home office environment.
• Multiple Health Plan Options – Including a 100% employer-paid plan.
• Employer HSA Contributions – When enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan.
• Fitness Reimbursement Program – Stay active, your way.
• On-Demand Mental Health Support – Access to Headspace and other wellness tools.
• Paid Parental Leave – For both birthing and non-birthing parents.
• Traditional & Roth 401(k) – With a generous company match.
• Life & AD&D Insurance – 100% employer-paid coverage for peace of mind.
• Online Learning Platforms – Fuel your professional development.
• Competitive Salary & Bonuses – Your contributions are valued and rewarded.
