Location: Pune, MH Type: Full-time Apply - Send your resume to with the subject: Application: Director of Product - AI Simulation Engine . **IMPORTANT** For your application to be considered, please describe in brief in your cover letter: Why Simploy’s mission hits home for you. The piece of this product you can’t wait to build — and why. Why you think you will be great fit. Anything else you would like to share.. About the role We’re expanding our product organisation to build a next-generation, AI-powered platform that delivers interactive, role-based experiences at scale. You’ll be the point-person who turns high-level vision into a concrete roadmap and a shipped product—owning strategy, scoping, execution, and outcomes . This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll define the MVP, pick the right tools, shape the architecture with engineering, run sprints, and deliver a live product —while setting up the operating system for scale. What you’ll own Product strategy → roadmap → PRDs: Convert business goals into clear problem statements, success metrics, and milestone releases. MVP definition & scope control: Ruthlessly prioritise for speed to value; stage everything else behind decision gates. Delivery leadership: Plan sprints, run rituals, unblock teams, manage risks, and hold a crisp RACI across design/eng/AI. Technical scoping (partnering with Eng): Choose pragmatic stacks and services; specify APIs, data models, and “AI orchestration” patterns (prompting, evaluation, memory, guardrails). No daily coding required, but strong technical literacy is. Quality & measurement: Define acceptance criteria, experiment design, and the core dashboard (activation, completion, cost/user, NPS, conversion). Team build-out: Sequence and recruit the first pod (full-stack engineer, AI/ML engineer, QA) and onboard them to your delivery system. Stakeholder comms: Maintain a single source of truth (roadmap, decision log, release notes) and keep leadership tightly informed. Security & compliance baseline: Sensible defaults for auth, data privacy, content safety, and auditability. Must have's - 7–12 years in product management or technical program management for SaaS/platform products; have shipped at least one v1 from zero → live usage. Strong technical literacy: APIs, cloud (GCP/AWS), data modeling, event analytics; comfortable specifying services and reading lightweight code/diagrams. Experience integrating LLM/AI capabilities (prompting, evaluation loops, embeddings/vector stores, guardrails). Fluency with modern product/engineering stacks (e.g., React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node, Firebase/GCP or AWS; experience with AI orchestration frameworks is a plus). Execution discipline: excellent scoping, sequencing, and risk management; you know how to ship on time without letting quality drift. User empathy + systems thinking: you can turn messy workflows into clean flows and measurable outcomes. Leadership: crisp writing, clear decisions, high accountability. Nice to have - Background in ed-tech, simulations, gaming, or workflow tools . Built products for India-first, global-ready audiences. Experience setting up basic security, privacy, and compliance practices for new products. Compensation - Competitive salary + We can discuss additional upside based on milestones Apply - Send your resume to with the subject: Application: Director of Product - AI Simulation Engine . **IMPORTANT** For your application to be considered, please describe in brief in your cover letter: Why Simploy’s mission hits home for you.
