AI Product Lead

Ascendion
Community of Madrid, Spain
Full-time

About the Role

We are looking for a visionary AI Product Lead to define and drive the strategy of our Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

This role owns the end-to-end AI product vision, ensuring our autonomous AI agents collaborate effectively with engineering teams to deliver high-value software at scale.

You will not only manage a product — you will shape how AI transforms software engineering in complex environments, including Legacy Modernization and Brownfield Integration use cases.

You are responsible for defining what we build, why we build it, and how success is measured in an AI-assisted development ecosystem.

Note-Spanish speaker is required
