A Note From the Founder

I have built product at Citizen since the first line of code, and I am still in it every day. Now I build with agents, and so does the rest of the company. Engineering, operations, and finance already run this way. The gap between an idea and a working build on my phone is measured in hours, and it is changing how fast we move more than anything in our history.

The enterprise business is working. Cities, hospitals, campuses, and private security teams are buying the same real-time intelligence that made Citizen the #1 safety app in America, and they are renewing. The next step is scale: a product that gets a customer signed to live in days, an API and integrations that put Citizen inside the systems they already run, and packaging that lets a small team serve many more of them. That is a product leader's job, and I want to build it with you, next to me, every day.

You will hear no from me, and I expect to hear it back, with the data.

The Role

Citizen is the #1 safety app in the U.S. Every day, thousands of videos are captured live at the scene of real incidents and distributed in real time to people in every major American city. No other product, consumer or enterprise, has this.

Under the app is a real-time machine. First-responder radio in every market we cover, video arriving from the scene, a Mission Control floor deciding in seconds what a city hears, and alerts that reach a phone before the sirens do. That machine is becoming agentic, and the same signal that reaches a resident's phone is what a security director, an emergency manager, or a newsroom needs on their screen, with the context, the tools, and the delivery their job demands. Designing that product, for institutions that act in the real world in real time, is the job here.

You are the Head of Product, Enterprise: the enterprise products and consoles, the public API and how it is packaged and priced, the integrations that put Citizen inside the tools cities already run, and the path from signed contract to live customer. You report to the Founder. Sales owns the relationships and the contracts; you own the product and its velocity. Enterprise customers renew and expand on what ships, and that number is yours. A peer owns the consumer product; you share one codebase, one data platform, and one standard for what agents may decide.

You will never hire a product manager. Your headcount is agents. The production work of product management, discovery synthesis, competitive reads, spec drafts, partner documentation, onboarding runbooks, the weekly pipeline and renewal read, is done by an agent team you build and operate. One person with the right systems and the right judgment now carries what a product org of six carried three years ago. That is the job, and this is the first moment it has been possible.

Why Now

Citizen built the public safety category, and the institutions responsible for safety now want what the public already has. The enterprise business has customers, renewals, and a pipeline; what comes next is a product that scales as fast as the demand for it. The levers are known: time from signed to live, integrations that make Citizen part of the workflow, packaging that fits how a city or a hospital buys. The next step is one person who owns those levers end to end. Until recently that took a department. Now they need agents, taste, and the nerve to decide.

How We Work

Every role at Citizen is two things: the craft, and the operation of AI to multiply it.

You are a product leader first. Judgment about what to build and what to kill. A feel for what people will open every day and what they will pay for. The ability to tell a founder with strong opinions that the data says otherwise.

Every function here runs with agents doing the production work. Engineering ships through them, operations runs on them, and the weekly read assembles itself. You will inherit that stack on day one and build your own on top of it. If you are still writing specs from a blank page or assembling the weekly read by hand in month three, something has gone wrong.
