Scale’s Engineering and Product Development organization (EPD) reports directly to the Chief Technology Officer. Scale is organized as vertical empowered product teams under a product GM. Each product GM is responsible for defining their product, their pitch, their go-to-market strategy, their product demo and leading the engineering team. For operationally-intensive products (e.g. 3D Lidar labeling), the product GM works closely with their operational counterparts to support delivery of customer engagements.
The Head of Product Acceleration leads a small horizontal team of highly specialized product experts who partner with product GMs to help debug, diagnose, and ultimately accelerate product development and adoption. This function is designed to mirror some of the in-house expertise that Venture Capital firms offer to their portfolio companies.
