Inference Platform PM — Scale, Performance & Trust

Fireworks; San Mateo; On-site; PHP 900,000 - 1,500,000; Full time

Job summary

Fireworks is hiring a Product Manager to own parts of the inference and platform product, guiding roadmap across API, UI, and CLI. You’ll work with AI-native startups and enterprises running production traffic, turning pain points into productized capabilities.

You’ll collaborate with inference, infrastructure, and go-to-market teams to set strategy, write specs, and drive adoption, pricing, docs, and enablement while balancing latency, cost, and trust for scalable deployment.

Qualifications

• 2–8+ years of product management experience building technical or developer-facing products.
• Strong technical background—CS/EE degree, production engineering experience, or equivalent depth earned on the job.
• Familiarity with the inference lifecycle: model serving, latency and throughput tradeoffs, and how these connect to cost in production.
• Demonstrated ownership of a product area end to end from strategy, spec, launch, to metrics.
• Excellent written communication. You can write a spec, a launch post, and a customer-facing explanation of a tradeoff, and all three will be clear.
• Comfort with ambiguity, and a bias toward shipping and learning over waiting for certainty.
• Deep hunger and motivation. This isn’t a 9-5 job and you’ll be expected to step up, especially during periods of “wartime.”

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap, strategy, and success metrics for parts of the Fireworks inference and platform product, across API, UI, and CLI.
• Work directly with AI-native startups and enterprises running production inference. Watch them work, unblock them when they stall, and convert repeated pain into productized capability.
• Own the commercial and trust surfaces of the platform, including accounts, onboarding, quotas and rate limits, billing, and fraud and abuse prevention
• Partner with product marketing, sales, and the field to launch platform capabilities that land, like pricing and packaging, docs, cookbooks, and enablement.
