AI-Native Product Manager Full-time | Remote (US) or San Diego | Reports to CEO
Crop Diagnostix is a venture-backed, high-growth agtech startup using cutting-edge genomics and AI to turn plant signals into actionable insights for agriculture.
As our AI-Native Product Manager, you'll become the primary link between our customers and our engineering team. You'll gather customer input directly from growers, agronomists, and input-company partners, turn it into a prioritized roadmap, and ship against it yourself using AI-assisted development. Agriculture domain knowledge is required.
You'll manage a suite of products:
Insights (web, iOS, Android): the grower- and partner-facing app for managing fields and viewing diagnostics insights
Sampling (iOS, Android): the field app for tracking RNA samples en route to the lab
Admin (web): the internal app for lab, sequencing, agronomy, and platform operations
Backend and integrations: an event-driven cloud backend connecting agricultural data providers, sequencing platforms, and notification channels
AI and data access: tooling giving AI agents and dashboards structured access to our diagnostics database
This role is remote, based in the U.with relocation offered to our San Diego HQ if interested.
Make and communicate prioritization trade-offs across the pipeline: grower-facing insights, input insights, lab tooling, backend integrations, and AI/data access
Manage integration partnerships with data providers and future partners
Start running product and customer discovery conversations, building toward a weekly cadence
Shadow the commercial and engineering teams to understand today's handoffs and gaps
Partner with the Founding Software Engineer and ship your first fix or small feature
Reach five customer discovery conversations per week
Meaningfully reduce commercial team time spent scoping product and briefing engineering
Be shipping features directly using AI-assisted development, in partnership with the Founding Software Engineer
Get at least one pilot account live and actively using a new product or major feature
Fully eliminate CEO and commercial team time spent scoping product and briefing engineering
You'll partner directly with our Founding Software Engineer, who owns the technical stack and works in AI-assisted development tooling. Implementation moves fast once direction is clear; Written communication is the default: well-structured documents over meetings, decisions recorded with their reasoning. demonstrated experience owning a roadmap end to end, from raw customer signal to shipped outcome
~ Professional experience in agriculture or ag tech (farming, agronomy, retail, crop inputs, equipment, or similar)
~ Experience working on a technical product, ideally B2B or field-operations software
~ Hands-on experience shipping code using AI-assisted coding tools
~ PRs, code review, development workflow
~ no visa sponsorship currently offered)
Experience delivering mobile products used in field operations
Experience managing product-side integrations with data providers (ag equipment APIs, data layers)
AI-Native Execution: You use AI tools daily to move from idea to shipped feature, and you own the quality of every AI-assisted change before it merges.
Technical Fluency: You write requirements clear enough that there's exactly one way to interpret them, and you can read code, data models, and API discussions to engage credibly with engineering.
Customer-First Discovery: You want to be on the phone with growers, agronomists, and partners regularly, not occasionally.
Independent Judgment: You decide what ships next across competing priorities without escalating every call.
Cross-Functional Fluency: You communicate naturally across agronomy, commercial, science, engineering, and lab/ops.
Direct, high-leverage ownership: your specs ship in days, not quarters, working one-on-one with the CEO and Founding Software Engineer, no layers in between
Meaningful equity at an early stage, with the latitude that comes from being the first person to own this function
Proprietary science: the first platform using RNA to detect crop stress weeks before symptoms appear, built on data, models, and IP no one else has
Collaborate with a world-class team of experts across agriculture, biotech, and AI.
Join us in providing bio-intelligence to the most critical industry in the world, securing our food supply for generations to come.
