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.

    Qualifications

    • 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).
