Role Description
A-Alpha Bio is seeking a Head of Product to own our Atlas software platform: the web application, SDK, and APIs through which customers design experiments, access licensed datasets, and integrate them into machine learning workflows. In this role, you’ll turn the vision set by our commercial leadership into a platform that delivers on that vision: owning product definition and delivery, as well as technical adoption and utilization. This is a hands-on, player-coach role and the first product hire for Atlas.
Key Responsibilities
From Strategy to Platform
- Translate the business vision and roadmap owned by our commercial team into a platform roadmap and a software experience.
- Bring platform feasibility, cost, and sequencing into commercial planning early enough to make an impact.
- Define and track platform and UX adoption and utilization metrics, such as active users, API and SDK usage, and integration depth.
- Define what we build versus buy, keeping a small team focused on maximizing platform value for customers.
Developer Experience
- Treat the data contract as a product: stable schemas, versioning, deprecation, and documentation.
- Design the path from first API call to production use, with samples, references, and self-serve tooling.
- Run discovery with platform users (engineering and scientific customers), turning their needs into requirements.
Product Definition & Delivery
- Communicate with engineering staff while iterating on experiment submission, data access and delivery, search, etc.
- Own platform releases across engineering, data science, laboratory systems, and provider integrations on a predictable cadence.
- Partner with engineering on architecture, scalability, and reliability tradeoffs.
Access, Security, & Integrations
- Own entitlements and access control, mapped exactly to customer agreements and robust under enterprise security review.
- Define requirements for provider and LIMS integrations that keep data flowing reliably into the platform.
Instrumentation & Team
- Build product analytics and usage telemetry from a near-standing start.
- Partner with the SVP, Data Science on hiring and scoping the team that will deliver on product, platform, and UX/design.
Qualifications & Experience
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline with 8+ years of software product or technical program management experience, including 3+ years owning a developer-facing platform, API, or data product end-to-end; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Track record of building and scaling software platforms for technical users, with measurable growth in adoption and usage.
- Experience owning API and SDK product decisions, including design, versioning and deprecation, and UX research and implementation.
