Senior Product & Project Manager – Artificial Intelligence: Luupli

This is effectively a Co-Founder or Founding Member role without the C-level title. Luupli is an early-stage social media startup (currently in Beta) attempting to build a "force for good" platform to compete with incumbents like Instagram or TikTok.

You are wearing two hats:

Product Manager: Deciding what to build (Strategy, Roadmaps, Feature Definition).

Project Manager: Ensuring it gets built (Sprints, timelines, coordinating engineers).

Your specific focus is AI Features. You will define how Artificial Intelligence interacts with creators on the platform—likely involving recommendation algorithms, automated moderation tools, or generative AI content tools.

Key Responsibilities
The Bridge: You are the translator between the Founders (vision) and the Engineers (code). You must take abstract ideas like "AI for good" and turn them into Jira tickets and Python specs.

Execution: Managing the entire lifecycle of AI features. This involves "Prompt Engineering" and understanding "Neural Networks" well enough to guide the technical team.

Metrics: Defining what success looks like. Since this is a social platform, you will look at "Stickiness" (retention) and "Ethical Impact" (ensuring the AI doesn't become toxic).

Qualifications
Experience: 5+ years in Product or Project Management.

Tech Literacy: You don't need to code the models, but you need to understand Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Python workflows to manage the data scientists effectively.

Mindset: "Entrepreneurial spirit" is code for "willing to work without immediate pay."

Strategic Analysis: The "Equity-Only" Model
⚠️ Risk Assessment:

The Offer (0.25% – 0.5%): For a senior, unpaid role at a pre-funding startup, this equity stake is low. Typically, founding team members who work for free expect 1% – 5% depending on the company stage. A 0.5% stake suggests they view this as a "Advisor" or "Part-time" commitment, or they have an inflated valuation of their current stage.

The "Sweat Equity" Gamble: You are investing your time (labor) in exchange for a lottery ticket. If Luupli becomes the next TikTok, that 0.5% is worth millions. If it fails (like 90% of startups), it is worth $0.

Best Use Case: This role is ideal for:

Someone currently employed who wants a side hustle to pivot their career into AI.

A freelancer looking to build a portfolio case study in "AI Product Management" to get a high-paying job elsewhere later.
