HybridEngineeringFull-time
Job Description
We’re building intelligent, autonomous AI agents that can reason, plan, and act across real-world workflows. These agents go beyond chat — they take meaningful action, work across tools and systems, and operate in complex, high-stakes environments. As our Product Manager, you’ll lead the definition and delivery of early use cases for agentic AI.
Responsibilities
- Use Case Discovery & Validation
- Identify and prioritize agent use cases with high ROI: operational automation, coordination agents, internal task delegation, etc.
- Work with users and stakeholders to understand their workflows, challenges, and trust boundaries.
- Prototype and iterate agent behaviors in production-like environments to validate fit and reliability.
- Product Design & Execution
- Define the agent experience — from delegation to monitoring to escalation — for real-world scenarios.
- Translate use cases into clear product specs: user flows, system interactions, prompts, safety requirements, and interfaces.
- Owning the roadmap and shipping iteratively: starting small, learning fast, scaling wisely.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Collaborate with engineering to align product needs with agent platform capabilities (planning, memory, tool orchestration, retries, etc.).
- Partner with AI research to bring experimental features into real-world settings.
- Ensure the platform supports the complexity of applied, multi-step, tool-using agents.
- Strategy & Metrics
- Define success metrics around outcomes — time saved, accuracy improved, failures recovered — not just clicks or sessions.
- Build product foundations that allow for vertical reuse, system generalization, and long-term scalability.
- Minimum Qualifications:
- 5+ years of product management or startup experience building technically complex, user-facing systems.
- Strong intuition for applied use cases — especially in automation, operations, or real-world workflows.
- Familiarity with agentic AI patterns and tooling (e.g., LLM agents, tool use, LangChain, OpenAI functions, memory systems).
- Experience working closely with engineers and researchers on system-level product decisions.
- Strong communication, prioritization, and execution skills.
- Preferred Qualifications:
- Exposure to or interest in domains like logistics, field ops, manufacturing, or systems integration.
- Background in AI/ML infrastructure, developer platforms, robotics, or IIoT.
- Experience designing for human-in-the-loop or semi-autonomous systems.
- Hands-on experience with prototyping workflows or agents using modern frameworks (e.g. LangGraph, AutoGen).
