🌍 Join the team powering the future of vision AI
Hello, hola, 你好, こんにちは, नमस्ते, hallo, bonjour! Thanks for stopping by — we know your time is valuable, so here's what makes Ultralytics special.
⚡ Who we are
At Ultralytics, we're on a mission to simplify AI for everyone. As the creators of the world's leading open-source YOLO models and the team behind the Ultralytics GitHub, we empower millions of developers, researchers, and companies to build state-of-the-art computer vision applications.
Following our $30M Series A round, we're expanding rapidly across our global hubs in London, Madrid, and Shenzhen. This is an opportunity to join a fast-scaling, high-performance team that's redefining the future of vision AI — where ambition meets impact, and ideas become reality.
We move fast. We build boldly. We execute with purpose. And we do it together.
💼 About the role
As VP of Product, you'll own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for Ultralytics Platform — our SaaS product for data sourcing, auto-annotation, cloud and local training, and deployment of YOLO models. You'll turn deep technical capabilities in computer vision and ML infrastructure into clear customer value, strong positioning, and durable growth.
You'll operate at both strategic and execution levels — defining roadmap priorities, pricing, packaging, and GTM while partnering closely with Engineering on specs, tradeoffs, and shipping. This role sits at the center of Product, Engineering, Growth, and Leadership as we scale our platform for developers and enterprises.
This role is ideal for a high-ownership product leader who understands developer tools, technical SaaS, and AI platforms deeply enough to read a PR, challenge architectural decisions, and make sharp product calls. You'll thrive here if you're async-first, data-driven, open-source minded, and excited to democratize vision AI.
