We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

Dana is Applied's AI platform for enterprises in physical industries: apps, agents, and data on one governed platform.

You will be the first PM for Dana's core platform: everything customers touch to build, deploy, share, and govern apps on Dana. You own the product end to end: the feature set, the user experience, and the product and technical tradeoffs behind them. Dana is multi-tenant and serves critical enterprise workloads, so scale and reliability tradeoffs are part of the job. This is a 0 to 1 role on a product with live enterprise customers and an aggressive launch calendar.

At Applied You Will

• Define and ship the platform's core capabilities from first spec to customer hands, for builders who range from platform engineers to domain experts who have never written code
• Own product quality and user experience across the platform; success is measured by product quality customers feel
• Partner directly with platform engineering on the big architectural choices, and own the product side of multi‑tenancy, scale, and reliability tradeoffs
• Work with forward‑deployed engineers and design partners on what customers actually need, and join enterprise onboarding and security‑review conversations

We’re Looking For Someone With

• Bachelors' degree or higher in a relevant field
• 3+ years of product management on a cloud or SaaS product shipped to external customers
• Owned a platform capability end to end, such as integrations, identity, permissions, or hosting
• Technical fluency to argue architecture tradeoffs with senior engineers and prototype with AI tools
• An understanding of the scale and reliability tradeoffs of multi‑tenant products
• Enterprise exposure, such as security reviews and IT or admin requirements
• Product taste: cares how the product feels to the person using it, not only that it ships

Nice To Have

• Experience building developer tools, data platforms, or low/no‑code products
• Hands‑on experience building with LLMs, agents, or AI applications
• Previous experience at a high‑growth startup or on a new product from its earliest stages
