Company

hirify.global is building the intelligence layer for humanoid robots, focused on reinforcement learning, whole-body control, and real-world deployment.

What you will do

• Own the whole-body controller as a product, including packaging, positioning, personas, customer metrics, and evaluation methods.
• Productise robot integrations by defining tooling, self-service workflows, and the roadmap for reducing onboarding time.
• Collaborate with research, engineering, go-to-market, and marketing teams on product strategy, customer pitches, engagement models, positioning, and pricing.
• Engage with B2B technical customers and OEM engineering teams, visit integration sites, and convert feedback into prioritised requirements.
• Define the SDK roadmap for configuration, deployment, monitoring, and debugging across increasing numbers of robots.
• Track adoption and decide what should be built and productised using quantitative and qualitative signals.

Requirements

• Product management experience with technical B2B products, ideally developer platforms, SDKs, or ML products, at a high-growth startup or top technology company.
• Strong technical foundation with a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent experience.
• Working understanding of robot learning and control, including whole-body controllers, simulation-trained policies, and sim-to-real differences.
• Experience defining evaluations or benchmarks for ML models or autonomy systems and using results for decisions and customer-facing claims.
• Experience working directly with B2B technical customers, ideally integrating products into third-party hardware or platforms.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including product specifications, customer updates, and positioning narratives.
• Comfort working in an early-stage, fast-moving environment with broad scope and ambiguity.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites across Europe and beyond, up to 15%.

Nice to have

• Experience with humanoid or legged robots, physical systems, reinforcement learning, sim-to-real transfer, or system identification.
• Experience launching or open-sourcing models and building adoption in research or developer communities.
• Experience with evaluation frameworks, model training pipelines, or agentic AI products.
• Product-market fit instincts for an emerging category.

Culture & Benefits

• Central Zürich office with robotics testing facilities and infrastructure.
• Relocation and permit sponsorship available.
• Enhanced pension plan, holiday, and paid leave benefits.
• Energetic, collaborative culture with a bias for action and regular community events.
