Product Manager
Shaping the future of Kudan PRISM at the intersection of cutting-edge 3D reconstruction technology, digital twins, and spatial intelligence.
Why We’re Hiring
Kudan is developing Kudan PRISM, a photorealistic digital twin solution powered by 3D Gaussian Splatting, enabling high-fidelity 3D reconstruction of real-world spaces.
Kudan PRISM is now moving beyond the PoC-driven adoption phase across infrastructure, construction, and robotics into full-scale deployment as a cloud-based SaaS platform.
To accelerate this growth, we are looking for a Product Manager who can bridge customers, business development, and engineering, and take end-to-end ownership of the product—from defining the mid- to long-term roadmap and driving day-to-day development to cloud architecture and SaaS operations.
This is not simply a role for managing requirements and schedules. You will work backwards from what the market and our customers truly need, determine how those needs can be realized through technology, and take an active role in building the product itself.
Key Responsibilities
You will lead the development of Kudan PRISM end to end—from product strategy and roadmap planning to cloud architecture, engineering leadership, and the operation and scaling of the SaaS platform.
◆ Product Planning & Execution
- Define product roadmap and requirements
- Prioritize features based on customer needs and PoC results
- Coordinate with clients, business teams, engineers, and vendors
- Drive UI/UX improvements
◆ Cloud Architecture & Operations
- Design scalable systems on AWS / Azure
- Optimize microservices and infrastructure
- Drive CI/CD, automated testing, security, and cost optimization
◆ Engineering Team Leadership
- Lead cross-functional engineering teams
- Manage sprints, tasks, and development progress
- Drive technical issues through to implementation
◆ Technology Scouting & Implementation
- Stay ahead of Gaussian Splatting, AI, and related technologies
- Turn customer needs into practical technical solutions
- Lead development from PoC to production
◆ External Integrations & Deployment
- Drive integrations with BIM/CIM, IoT, AI, and enterprise systems
- Define requirements and technical specifications with partners
What Makes This Role Unique
◆ Bring advanced spatial technology into real-world products
Turn Kudan’s core technologies into products that create real customer value.
◆ Build the future of digital twins
Help shape PRISM into a platform for infrastructure, construction, robotics, and beyond.
◆ Own the product end to end
From roadmap and architecture to development and production deployment.
◆ High ownership, high impact
Work in a lean team where your decisions directly shape the future of the product.
- 4+ years of hands-on experience developing cloud-based SaaS or web solutions
- Experience with modern frontend technologies such as WebGL, React, and TypeScript, or full-stack development experience
- Hands-on experience building and operating systems on AWS, including EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudFront, and RDS
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, or CircleCI
- Experience leading an engineering team of approximately five or more members
- Conversational-level English communication skills
- Product management experience from requirements definition through release
- Experience developing products involving 3D models, point clouds, or digital twins
- Understanding of AI / computer vision, SLAM, Unity, Three.js, or related technologies
- Experience working in startup environments or PoC-driven development
- Advanced English communication skills

Robotics Engineer
Bringing cutting-edge navigation technology out of the codebase and into the real world. Lead the real-world deployment of autonomous robots.
Why We’re Hiring
Kudan is bringing its core spatial perception technologies into real-world applications across robotics and digital twins. We are now at a stage where our technologies are being deployed as practical solutions across infrastructure, logistics, construction, and other industries.
We are currently developing navigation products for autonomous robots and multi-robot fleet management. Upcoming initiatives include PoCs with major construction companies and automotive manufacturers, autonomous patrols in warehouses, material transportation at construction sites, and validation projects related to national R&D programs.
We are looking for a Robotics Engineer to integrate Kudan’s cloud and edge software into a variety of robotic platforms and technically lead PoCs and field validation. Beyond software development, you will work across sensors, robotics, navigation, and cloud technologies to build intelligent autonomous systems that work reliably in real-world environments.
Key Responsibilities
You will integrate navigation software into real robotic platforms and take ownership from sensor setup and software development through field deployment and performance validation.
【Integration: Bring Autonomous Robots to Life】
- Robot integration: Integrate Kudan’s ROS2-based navigation software and fleet management capabilities into various robotic platforms
