ModelVault is hiring a
ModelVault is building the world’s first plug-and-play on-premise AI server — a fully-integrated appliance that ships with containerized LLMs, vision models, developer tools, and remote management built in. Designed for businesses that need local, secure, cloud-independent AI, ModelVault brings AI infrastructure in-house — without the complexity.
We’re looking for a founder-type Product Lead to drive the development of our v1 hardware + software platform. You’ll work side-by-side with the founding team to take the product from zero to pilot deployments — owning strategy, execution, and market feedback.
This is not just a product management job — it’s an opportunity to define a new category and build a company from the inside out.
🎯 What You’ll Own
-
Shape the product vision for our first integrated AI appliance — what it does, who it’s for, how it works
-
Define the v1 scope — which models to include, how to prioritize use cases, what UX + developer tools to build
-
Work closely with engineering to ship local model serving, fine-tuning workflows, remote update systems, and UI/CLI interfaces
-
Run product discovery with dev teams, research groups, and IT buyers to validate demand and refine positioning
-
Lead roadmap planning, customer pilots, pricing tests, and go-to-market experiments
-
Coordinate hardware + software integration with a focus on reliability, simplicity, and speed
-
Build the early systems that support scale — remote diagnostics, patching pipelines, customer feedback loops
-
Represent product thinking in every key decision — balancing technical feasibility with user impact and long-term leverage
🔧 You’ll Thrive If You…
-
Have 4–10 years of experience in product, engineering, or technical founding — ideally in devtools, infra, AI/ML, or embedded systems
-
Are fluent in technical product development: can work directly with engineers, understand system design tradeoffs, and write detailed specs
-
Have a bias for action and clarity — can move from vision to build to feedback quickly
-
Have worked on zero-to-one hardware/software products or deeply technical stacks
-
Think like a founder: prioritize ruthlessly, care about customers, and see constraints as a feature
-
Want to shape not just a product, but a category and a company
🧪 Bonus Points
-
Experience with containerized model stacks (e.g., vLLM, Ollama, Triton, Hugging Face)
-
Past work on embedded systems, edge computing, or AI appliances
-
Familiarity with RAG pipelines, inference optimization, or open-source LLM infra
-
Experience launching pilot programs or selling to technical B2B customers
-
Background in dev-rel, solution engineering, or technical community engagement
🌍 Why ModelVault?
-
Shape a foundational AI product that redefines how and where models run
-
Build at the intersection of AI, systems design, and product simplicity
-
Fully remote, async-friendly, and deeply product-focused founding culture
-
High-trust environment, with full ownership of the roadmap and strategy

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with “how to work online” are also scams. Don’t use them or pay for them. Also always verify you’re actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it’s the actual company’s main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.
