Chief Product Officer

Veris is SmartDevs platform for keeping AI systems reliable once theyre live. Most tools in this space show you charts and leave you to work out whats wrong we do the work instead: we find the problems tell you which ones matter and fix them. Two products do the job: one checks whether an AI system is safe to release and gives a clear yes or no; the other watches company knowledge bases for content thats gone out of date contradicts itself or has gaps then hands back a prioritized fix-list. We sell into banks law firms logistics companies and healthcare providers markets where an AI that makes things up isnt an embarrassment its a legal and financial problem.

This is a builders role. Youll move between board-level strategy and the detail of pilot feedback pricing packages and channel economics often in the same week. It suits someone who has taken a product from zero to one before who is genuinely fluent in AI/ML systems and who can back every roadmap call with commercial numbers a board will trust. Youll do it with a delivery engine a client base and an engineering team already in place.
