Senior Product Manager - Founding Family Beta Program
Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics
At Sunday, we're developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.
We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth. If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
We’re launching Memo into real homes in late 2026, bringing an AI-powered home robot into the messy reality of people’s lives. We need a Senior Product Manager to own our Founding Family Program end-to-end: recruit the right founding families, lead cross-functional coordination across robotics, legal, and marketing, and turn real-world feedback into the insights that will define this new category.
This isn’t just a beta program. It’s the foundation for how helpful robotics enters the home: an early-adopter program where families try Memo’s first suite of skills in their homes and help shape what we build next. You'll be building the playbook and shaping our next phase of growth. You'll work directly with the Head of Product to define what skills Memo learns first, how we measure success, and what we learn from bringing AI robotics into the home.
This role requires someone who can think strategically about product, execute operationally on complex programs, and turn user behavior and feedback into clear insights and engineering requirements.
What You'll Do
Own the Founding Family Program strategy: Work directly with the Head of Product to define learning objectives, participant criteria, and the overall program experience. You’ll help decide what Memo does in its first homes — the scope is still being defined, and your input will shape it.
Define success metrics and reporting: Establish a clear scorecard for the program (for example: deployment readiness, active usage, issue-to-fix turnaround time, safety incidents, and participant retention) and keep the team aligned on what we’re learning.
Select and onboard founding families: Work with the Head of Product to identify and onboard beta participants who will help us learn the most. These aren’t just users — they’re partners in building Memo. You’ll set clear expectations around privacy and data practices, time commitment, and lightweight feedback rituals.
Lead cross-functional execution: Coordinate across legal, robotics, field ops, design, and marketing to ship into homes safely and iterate fast.
Build safety and trust frameworks: Define how we keep families safe, calibrate their trust appropriately, and handle edge cases when things go wrong.
Synthesize insights into product strategy: Turn messy real-world feedback and user behavior into clear product priorities, feature requirements, and capability roadmaps. Make insightful decisions based on what you observe, not just what users say.
Support the product narrative: Provide research, insights, and data that inform how we communicate Memo's progress to investors, press, and future customers.
Build operational rigor: Create the processes, documentation, and systems needed to run the program smoothly — and eventually scale to thousands of homes.
Build and develop the team: Partner with the Head of Product to hire and mentor team members who will help scale the Founding Family Program, with the opportunity to grow into people management as the team expands.
What You'll Bring
5+ years in product management, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role
Hardware or robotics experience — you've shipped physical products and understand the constraints of atoms, not just bits
Beta program or pilot experience — you've launched products into the real world with real users and iterated based on what broke
Cross-functional leadership — you know how to align teams with different priorities and drive execution without formal authority
Mentorship experience — you’ve mentored or developed junior PMs or cross-functional partners, and you’re excited to grow into people management as the program scales
User research skills — you're comfortable conducting interviews, synthesizing insights, and building conviction from qualitative and behavioral data
Operational rigor — you can build systems and processes, not just product strategy
Insightful decision-making — you can read between the lines of user feedback and behavior to make non-obvious product calls
Comfort with ambiguity — you can help define the scope of work, not just execute against clear requirements
Nice to Have
Experience with AI/ML products or autonomous systems
Background in safety-critical products (medical devices, automotive, industrial)
Consumer hardware experience
Experience working in early-stage startups (Series A/B)
Experience building and scaling product teams
What You're Not
Looking for a role that is mostly strategy, with execution owned by others
Most effective when a detailed playbook and fully-formed requirements already exist
Uncomfortable working within the constraints of hardware, physical deployment, and the realities of the field
Prefer highly independent work over close cross-functional collaboration, mentoring, and team development
Why Sunday
You'll define how millions of people first experience helpful and autonomous robots in their homes. We're building Memo, a home robot designed to be genuinely helpful in real households, and you'll own the critical phase where it goes from lab to living room. You'll work closely with the Head of Product to shape not just how we launch, but what we launch.
Sunday is backed by Benchmark and Conviction and based in Mountain View. We're a team of optimistic experts and pragmatic pioneers — people who've turned academic breakthroughs into real products at places like Tesla, DeepMind, Waymo, Meta, and Neuralink. We're solving the hardest problems in robotics.
At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria — we don’t want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
