• Act as the Foundation’s primary product counterpart to Sentient Labs' research and product teams.
• Packaging technical work into products people can use, such as docs, demos, benchmarks, leaderboards, blog posts, and developer workflows.
• Run developer-facing programs: public challenges, competitions, hackathons, cohorts, and partner-backed launches.
• Build feedback loops from developers, researchers, partners, and open-source contributors back into the roadmap.
• Shape product strategy for emerging categories, such as agent evaluation, open-source AI distribution.

Requirements

4+ years of product experience in AI/ML, developer platforms, infrastructure, or technical tools, including leading a product team or owning a product function.

Experience leading people and operating as a senior cross-org partner.

You will own a function, mentor PMs, and work as a peer to research and engineering leadership.

A track record of shipping complex 0-to-1 products in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Hands-on familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, evals, benchmarking, or model deployment workflows.

Technical background is required to debate tradeoffs with researchers and engineers.

Exceptional communication: you turn dense technical work into product narratives developers and partners actually read.

High ownership and urgency; comfortable being the connective tissue across many stakeholders.

Qualifications

Nice to have:

• You've built or run benchmarks, leaderboards, eval systems, or open-source programs.
• You have knowledge of agent architectures, tool-calling systems, safety evaluations, or AI governance.
• You have experience with product-led growth, developer communities, technical GTM, or ecosystem programs.
• You have enough full-stack fluency (e.g., Next.js, Postgres) to prototype or pressure-test what you ship.
