This role sits at the intersection of customer discovery, product strategy, technical execution, and responsible deployment. You will partner across engineering, design, data, research, go-to-market, legal, and customer-facing teams to identify high-value workflows, prototype AI-powered experiences, define quality standards, and deliver measurable business and user impact.

We will count on you to:

• Own product strategy, roadmap, and execution for applied AI capabilities across one or more product areas.


• Identify workflows where AI can materially improve speed, quality, decision-making, automation, or user experience.


• Translate ambiguous customer problems into clear product requirements, success metrics, prototypes, and release plans.


• Partner with engineering and AI teams on LLM-powered systems, including prompts, context design, retrieval, tool use, agents, model selection, and product architecture tradeoffs.


• Define and run practical evaluation processes for AI features, including quality rubrics, offline evaluations, regression tests, online metrics, user feedback loops, and human review.


• Make product decisions across accuracy, latency, cost, reliability, safety, privacy, and user trust.


• Use modern AI tools and coding/productivity harnesses to accelerate research, prototyping, analysis, QA, and product thinking.


• Monitor shipped AI experiences for quality, failure modes, adoption, business impact, and operational risk.


• Collaborate with design to create intuitive AI UX, including graceful failure states, user control, transparency, and feedback mechanisms.


• Work with legal, security, compliance, and policy partners to support responsible deployment.


• Enable sales, support, customer success, and marketing with clear positioning, demos, launch materials, and customer narratives.

What you need to have

• 2+ years of experience building, shipping, implementing, analyzing, or operating software, data, AI, automation, or technical products.


• Strong product judgment and the ability to turn fuzzy problems into sharp product bets.


• Demonstrated ability to build, ship, prototype, or meaningfully contribute to technical products.

• Experience creating and running evaluations for AI systems (test sets, grading rubrics, failure analysis, regression tracking, human review workflows).


• Experience with observability, quality dashboards, annotation workflows, or human-in-the-loop systems.


• Experience with enterprise AI, regulated industries, privacy-sensitive products, or compliance-heavy environments.


• Familiarity with retrieval systems, search, knowledge management, or other ways of giving AI systems useful context.
