About LanceDB

AI advances at the speed of its research, and research moves at the speed of its data. LanceDB is the AI-native Multimodal Lakehouse: one system where a researcher curates petabytes of video, audio, and every signal derived from them with a few lines of Python, and the next training run starts as fast as the next idea. Customers like Runway, Midjourney, and Netflix build the future of AI on LanceDB, from frontier and world models to robots and autonomous vehicles.

About the Role

Takes high-level direction (e.g., “analyze X”) and drives to results across the company

Success looks like a LanceDB platform that is even more tightly focused on our ICP, and providing clarity on what engineering builds

What You'll Do

Shape roadmap with CTO + eng leadership

Deep dives into competitors, users, and adjacent tech

Talk to users constantly; turn insight into product changes

Drive cross-team decisions on priorities (eng, field, support)

Work with engineering directly as a technically-respected peer

What We're Looking For

10+ years as a software engineer or in a highly technical product role

Shipped and iterated on products end-to-end

Experience working on large-scale data platforms (e.g., databases, data infra, ML/AI systems)

Understanding of AI researcher persona - what success looks like for them, what are their pain points, what increases their happiness

Regularly engaged with users (interviews, support, design partners, or community)

Demonstrated ownership of ambiguous projects with minimal guidance

Experience influencing or driving roadmap / prioritization decisions

Strong written and verbal communication (can drive alignment across teams)

Comfortable using data (metrics, experiments, usage) to guide decisions

Experience contributing to or working with open source communities
