Founding Product Lead – GeneEase

GeneEase is a new kind of biotech company — using AI and gene therapy to treat health issues that medicine has historically ignored: subtle autoimmune dysfunctions, alcohol intolerance, and other subclinical conditions that don’t show up in standard diagnostics, but affect millions. We’re starting with a precision diagnostic and personalization platform for gene-based therapies — powered by genomic, lifestyle, and phenotypic data. We're looking for a founder-type Product Leader to help us go from whiteboard to MVP and beyond. This role is for someone who wants to co-create a biotech company at the frontier of personalized medicine and machine learning — not just ship features. 🚀 What You’ll Drive - Define the vision for our first diagnostic and personalization tools — from user flow to scientific logic - Lead early product discovery: validate hypotheses with patients, clinicians, scientists, and data partners - Partner with engineers and researchers to build our first AI-driven prototypes (diagnostic and personalization engine) - Translate research into product specs — from gene pathway insights to real-world use cases - Coordinate with external labs, scientists, and data providers to power our AI models - Help shape data strategy (privacy, ethics, structure), regulatory direction, and GTM experiments - Make core decisions on product architecture, direction, and culture from day one 🧠 You Might Be a Fit If You… - Have 5–10 years of experience in product management, technical founding, or leading early product at startups - Have built and launched AI-driven or healthcare platforms from zero to one - Think in systems: patient experience ↔ data pipeline ↔ science ↔ ethics ↔ product - Know how to turn ambiguity into action — and back it with timelines, specs, and aligned teams - Can talk to AI engineers, scientists, and users in the same day — and make sense to all of them - Are excited to build a category-defining company, not just a product roadmap ⭐️ Bonus Points - Background in biotech, systems biology, genomics, or AI in healthcare - Experience with healthcare data (genomic, EHR, clinical trial, phenotypic, etc.) - Previously a founder, first PM, or early team member in a high-ambiguity startup - Experience collaborating with academic researchers, clinical labs, or regulatory advisors - Familiarity with IRB, HIPAA, GxP, or AI/ethics frameworks in healthcare 🌱 Why Join GeneEase? - Co-create the company — not just the product. You’ll have real ownership, influence, and a say in how we grow. - Mission-first: help patients who are overlooked by traditional diagnostics — but ready to benefit from modern science - AI + Biology at its best: complex systems, cutting-edge ML, and real health impact - Remote, async, independent — we value deep work, intellectual honesty, and self-direction Originally posted on Himalayas
