Redefine how people save and shop with AI-powered intelligence that feels personal, trusted, and magical. We’re not just hiring. We’re inviting a partner. At Demand.io, we’re restoring humanity to the heart of commerce. Our products simplify how people save money, discover products, and shop with confidence. SimplyCodes, our flagship savings assistant, helps millions of users at checkout. Now, we’re transforming it into the world’s smartest shopping assistant. We’re building foundational systems like ShopGraph, the internet’s most comprehensive, verified commerce knowledge graph, and Product.ai, a category-defining expert shopping agent. Our tech isn’t just powered by AI—it’s structured to teach AI how to serve humans better. This role is not about shipping features. It’s about inventing a new paradigm for how people interact with shopping itself. You’ll lead the AI transformation of SimplyCodes from a coupon tool into an intelligent commerce agent. And you won’t do it as an employee. You’ll do it as a strategic partner. Why this role exists We believe: • The future of commerce is AI-native, agent-driven, and built on trust. • Shopping will evolve from transactional websites to conversational assistants and real-time decision support. • Verified knowledge and human-aligned design will be the differentiator. We’ve built the core infrastructure — verified coupon data, 400K+ merchant coverage, automated testers, and our AI Operating System (AIOS). Now we’re hiring the product leader to turn that foundation into a category-defining consumer experience.
