About Wualt

Wualt is building a connected safety wearable for women: a smart ring and mobile app that let someone signal for help discreetly and keep the people they trust informed. Designed and built in India, the product brings together hardware, firmware, software and applied ML. Pilots are live, and we are working towards a national launch in 2027.

We are hiring a Head of Product to lead the product end to end and turn what we learn from pilots into a reliable experience people can trust.

The role

This is our most senior product role, reporting to the founders. You will own the product vision, priorities and roadmap across the ring, dock, firmware, app, backend and ML, bringing the work of engineering, data, design and quality together around a shared plan.

You will stay close to users and the technical details, give teams clear ownership, and resolve difficult trade-offs and blockers. You will lead and grow the product function, working closely with the founders and functional leads to align delivery plans, resources and launch decisions.

Brand and growth own marketing, positioning and campaigns. You will partner with them on launch readiness, ensuring the product experience and the promises we make about it stay aligned.

What you will own

Product strategy and priorities. Set a clear direction and an achievable roadmap from pilots through launch and beyond. Make explicit choices about what to build, what to defer and why.

User learning and pilots. Lead the pilot programme, understand how women use the product in practice, and turn feedback and evidence into product decisions. Test the full experience, from setup and everyday use to signalling for help.

Delivery across teams. Coordinate hardware, firmware, app, backend and ML milestones. Surface dependencies early, agree owners and acceptance criteria, and help teams resolve blockers.

Reliability and launch readiness. Define readiness criteria with engineering and quality. Own the integrated delivery plan,



making risks and trade-offs between timing, scope and quality clear before launch decisions.

Safety, privacy and trust. Keep claims grounded in what the product can reliably detect and notify. Work with the relevant specialists on privacy, data protection and applicable requirements, and make limitations clear in the experience.

Product measures and improvement. Define and track measures such as alert reliability, notification latency, activation and retention, alongside user feedback. Use them to guide improvements through launch and beyond.

People and leadership. Build the product function, develop people, and establish a clear way to make decisions and review progress. Create accountability while giving teams the ownership to deliver.

What you will bring

Experience leading products from development to launch and improving them in production, with clear examples of your decisions and their outcomes.

The ability to set product direction and lead delivery across disciplines, balancing user needs, technical constraints and business priorities.

Enough technical depth to discuss hardware, firmware, mobile software, backend systems and applied ML with specialists, ask good questions and make informed trade-offs.

Experience leading teams through ambiguity, setting transparent priorities and resolving dependencies without becoming the bottleneck.

Sound judgement about reliability, privacy and user trust, and a willingness to challenge a date or a claim when the evidence does not support it.

A collaborative approach to working with founders, engineering,



design and brand, and the ability to explain decisions clearly.

Experience bringing a physical or connected product to market is strongly preferred, particularly a wearable, consumer-electronics product or hardware-plus-app system. Familiarity with hardware timelines, firmware releases, certification and manufacturing constraints will be valuable.

Additional experience we value

Wearables, safety, health or products combining hardware and services. Consumer products you helped launch and scale, including direct-to-consumer businesses. Working with applied-ML teams on a shipped product. Building a product function in an early-stage company.

Your first six to twelve months

Establish a shared assessment of the product, pilot findings and launch risks, with clear priorities and owners. Build and lead an integrated roadmap towards the 2027 national launch, with agreed readiness criteria and visible dependencies. Translate pilot learning into improvements across the ring, app and alert experience, and validate those improvements with users.

Put product measures and regular decision reviews in place so teams can see progress and address risks early. Align product readiness with brand and growth so launch communications accurately reflect the experience we can deliver.

What we offer

Company-wide product ownership, direct access to the founders, and a team already working across hardware, software and ML. The role offers a competitive salary and meaningful equity, with the opportunity to grow into Chief Product Officer as the company and the scope of the role expand. This is a full-time, on-site role in Chennai, working closely with the team building the product.
