We’re looking for experienced professionals to join Colibri’s Returnship Program as a Product Builder (Returnship). Your career break does not erase the expertise you earned. This paid, 12-week opportunity gives you a structured way to bring that experience back into technology work while learning how to build with AI.
In this individual contributor role, you will join a cross-functional product pod: a small team working together to solve customer and business problems. You will take a problem from an early prototype to working, AI-enabled software in the hands of real users, then improve it through feedback and weekly iteration. You will have meaningful ownership, with responsibility for the quality, progress, and outcomes of your work.
We welcome experience across engineering, product, design, learning, program management, business systems, and related disciplines. Bring your professional judgment and readiness to learn. Through AI-native training, hands-on delivery, and collaboration with your pod, you will build current skills while contributing the perspective of your prior career.
