From Code Metal's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Code Metal is the leader in automated software engineering you can trust. As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck in software has shifted from writing code to verifying it works, and AI cannot verify its own work with certainty. Code Metal takes a fundamentally different approach: constrain AI to what it does reliably, verify every step independently of the model using formal methods, and keep engineers in the loop on the decisions that matter.
The result isn't code that probably works — it's code that is provably correct, with auditable proof. Customers including the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, RTX, and Toshiba use Code Metal to modernize legacy code, optimize performance on real hardware, and move prototypes to production, fast. Founded in 2023 with offices in Boston and San Francisco, Code Metal is funded by
Accel, Salesforce Ventures, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and others.

Code Metal is hiring its first Head of Product to own the company's product strategy, organization, and operating model. The Head of Product will sit at the intersection of Engineering, customers, and go-to-market and answer a fundamental question for the company's next phase.
The Head of Product will own the product layer built on top of Code Metal's core technical capabilities, including the continued evolution of our platform and the development of new products and experiences that make those capabilities accessible to customers. The mandate is to translate powerful underlying technology into products that solve clear customer problems, are easy to understand and adopt, and create natural paths to broader platform usage.
This person will report directly the CEO and the company's technical leadership to determine what products should be built on top of Code Metal's foundational technology, for whom, and in what sequence, while partnering closely with Sales to refine packaging, positioning, and the path from initial customer entry point to broader adoption.
The successful candidate will have done this before: taken differentiated foundational technology and built compelling products on top of it, creating the product experience, packaging, customer adoption, and commercial motion required to bring that technology to market.
Product Strategy & Vision
: Define the product strategy for Code Metal's platform and establish a clear view of where the company will, and will not, invest.
Core Product Platform
: Own the product direction and evolution of our platform and creating a coherent experience and roadmap across Code Metal's technical capabilities.
Zero-to-One Product Development
: Work closely with Engineering to identify customer problems, develop new products and capabilities, validate them with customers, and take them from concept through market launch and adoption.
Customer Discovery
: Build a disciplined approach to understanding engineering-led customers and translating their requirements into durable product insights rather than one-off feature requests.
Product Roadmap & Prioritization
: Establish the mechanisms for making clear product and engineering tradeoffs across customer commitments, platform investments, technical debt, and long-term strategic opportunities.
Packaging & Commercialization
: Determine how Code Metal's capabilities are organized, positioned, and packaged into products that customers can understand and purchase.
Go-to-Market Enablement
: Partner tightly with Growth and Sales to create product narratives, use cases, demonstrations, competitive positioning, and technical enablement that make the platform easier to sell.
Sales Partnership
: Participate directly in strategic customer conversations, particularly during the company's current stage, helping Sales understand customer requirements and helping customers understand the product's technical and business value.
Engineering Partnership
: Serve as the primary product counterpart to Engineering and technical leadership, ensuring customer and market priorities are translated into clear product decisions without compromising technical integrity.
Build a high leverage, technically credible, high-output Product organization.
