Product Integrity Lead
Constraint & Guardrails
This role exists to prevent known failure modes: authority creep and rumination loops.
What the role does
- Has veto power within defined scope over product changes and product claims.
- Has authority to kill features.
- Enforces stopping conditions.
- Chooses deletion over invention when needed.
What it does not do
- It does not market the product.
- It does not optimize engagement.
- It does not act as a therapist, coach, or authority.
Who it is for
- People who can say no calmly.
- People who are comfortable making the product smaller.
- People who treat limits as a design goal, not a compromise.
What “AI experience” means here
- You can reason about failure modes.
- You can write and enforce constraints.
- You do not treat capability as the objective.
If reading this made you uncomfortable, this role is probably not for you.
