About Luzia

Luzia is LATAM's fastest-growing consumer AI company, backed by world-class investors including Khosla Ventures, A*, Monashees, Prosus and Sequoia. Our mission is to redefine what conversational AI can do by leveraging cutting-edge large language models (LLMs) and advanced alignment techniques to create intuitive, human-like digital assistants.

Just two years after launch, Luzia is already woven into the daily lives of millions of Brazilians. We're now deepening our roots here at home, bringing even more local flavor and warmth to everything we build. Join us and help shape Luzia's voice and product for Brazil from day one.

Role Overview
The Core/AI team is responsible for maintaining shared tooling, advancing AI capabilities, and ensuring robust systems and security across all of Luzia's operations. This role is pivotal in defining and implementing the team's strategy while driving collaboration with engineering, design, and other cross-functional stakeholders. Your work will impact millions of users globally and set the standards for how Luzia evolves.

You are a perfect fit if you:

Stay up to date with the latest in AI—whether it's listening to podcasts, following new tech launches, or experimenting with the newest tools. You're a fast learner who thrives in fast-paced startup environments, where uncertainty is the norm, and there's no user manual. You're driven by curiosity and passion—about AI or anything else that excites you—and you're eager to learn and grow every step of the way. You're comfortable rolling up your sleeves, figuring things out on the fly, and don't shy away from talking to anyone in the organization to make things happen. If you've integrated AI into your daily life and know how to turn curiosity into action, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with the head of engineering to design and execute a vision for Luzia's foundational systems and AI capabilities.

• Align the core team efforts with business goals, ensuring a robust and scalable architecture.

• Collaborate with engineering and other product teams to develop features around memory, inference optimization, advanced system prompts, customization and AI-enhanced workflows

• Lead the prioritization and execution of tasks based on the Core/AI team's operating model.

• Continuously seek ways to optimize our core systems based on key metrics 

• Develop and maintain robust product documentation and requirements that improve internal processes and help to provide scope for engineering development.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

• 5+ years in a technical product management role, preferably with experience in AI or core infrastructure teams.

• Strong understanding of software development, AI technologies, and system architecture.

• Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to roll up sleeves to get the job done.

• Skilled at working effectively with cross-functional teams and ability to influence.

• Experience gathering business requirements, defining product requirements and using business intelligence tools (SQL, Amplitude, Looker, Braze) to extract data, formulate metrics, and build reports.

• Experience leading multiple projects with multiple stakeholders within tight timelines

• Extreme attention to detail, design and UX.

• Genuine user-centric and data-driven mindsets.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Full professional proficiency in English. Spanish and/or Portuguese is a plus. 

Work Environment:

As a young startup, we offer the excitement and agility of a startup culture with the backing of prominent investors in one of the hottest and most relevant industries. We prioritize action and innovation, and we're looking for a driven individual ready to step up to challenges and grow with us. We are prepared to change the world.

Get shit done, Keep it simple, Embrace the pain, are some of our operating principles. At Luzia, we live and breathe agility and ownership. Our culture is steeped in a "ship, experiment, iterate, ship" mentality, where extreme ownership action, innovation and rapid execution are paramount.
