Pocket FM is building the world’s leading AI-powered audio storytelling platform. We are redefining how stories are created, tested, localized, distributed, monetized, and scaled for millions of listeners globally.
AI is not a side experiment at Pocket FM. It is becoming the operating system for how we build the future of storytelling from creator tooling and content intelligence to personalization, growth, monetization, and global expansion.
The role demands AI-Native mindset
Looking for high-agency AI obsessive builders who will work directly with founders, build AI-first systems form 0→1 with really high ownership for Pocket FM’s highest-leverage AI initiatives. We value shipping over pedigree.
We are especially interested in people who already use AI extensively in their daily work. You should be comfortable with some or many of the following:
- LLMs, prompting, agents, RAG, embeddings, evaluation, and orchestration patterns
- AI-assisted research, analysis, prototyping, writing, coding, and automation
- Building lightweight workflows, internal tools, dashboards, or productivity systems
- Thinking in terms of leverage, systems, feedback loops, and repeatable processes
- Rapidly testing ideas and improving them through experimentation
You do not need to be a pure backend engineer, but you should be technically fluent enough to work well with engineering teams, reason about APIs, data flows, scalability, system trade-offs, and AI system reliability.
What you’ll work on
You will work on high-impact initiatives such as:
- Interactive story-telling
- AI copilots for content, creator, and business operations
- Agentic workflows for writing, voice, video, localization, experimentation, and decision-making
- Content intelligence systems using audience signals, retention curves, engagement data, and creator behavior
- AI-native growth, monetization, and personalization workflows
- Internal automation systems, dashboards, knowledge systems, and decision-support tools
- Rapid validation engines for new story formats, markets, and content bets
- AI-led operating cadences that improve speed, quality, and business outcomes across teams
What we’re looking for
You may be a strong fit if you have:
- Strong product intuition and consumer understanding
- Good business acumen and the ability to connect strategy with execution
- Strong analytical ability; you can work with data, identify patterns, and build decision frameworks
- High ownership, bias for action, and comfort operating with incomplete information
- Deep curiosity about AI, storytelling, consumer behavior, and emerging workflows
Preferred backgrounds
We are open to candidates from different paths, including:
- Product managers with strong AI or technical depth
- Engineers with strong product and business orientation
- Startup generalists or operators
- AI-native builders or automation-first operators
- Growth, strategy, or business professionals with strong product thinking
- Consultants with execution depth
- Founders or ex-founders
- Systems-oriented product or platform thinkers
Nice to have
- Experience in consumer internet, media, entertainment, creator economy, or growth products
- Familiarity with experimentation, analytics, personalization, recommendation systems, or growth loops
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure, modern AI tools, automation systems, or agentic workflows
- Experience working in high-growth startup environments
