Job summary

Shield AI is seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to join the Special Projects team within the office of the CTO. You will shape the strategy for an agentic AI portfolio and drive roadmap delivery across EdgeOS, Pilot, Forge, and Commander ecosystems.

Ideal candidates have 8+ years in technical product management, fluency with AI tooling and enterprise platforms, and a track record of cross-functional leadership.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management for deeply technical products; engineering or CS background.
• Technical fluency: you read code, work APIs and CLIs from a terminal, and prototype with AI coding tools yourself.
• Shipped developer tools, internal platforms, or AI/ML products — and drove their adoption.
• Working fluency in LLM-based systems: agents, evaluation, context management, fine-tuning trade-offs.
• Metrics-driven operating style: you define KPIs, instrument products, and report against thresholds and objectives.
• Exceptional written communication — requirements, strategy docs, executive briefs.

Responsibilities

• Own product definition, roadmap, and metrics across the office of the CTO's agentic AI portfolio: an enterprise knowledge assistant (Brain), an agent-driven engineering platform (Springboard), and enterprise AI/data modernization and app development.
• Translate CTO strategy into crisp requirements, milestones, exit criteria, and KPIs — then hold the line on them.
• Drive adoption of internal platforms: reduce onboarding friction, instrument usage, track NPS and active users, and run developer advocacy and objection handling.
• Shape product direction for foundation-model based autonomy architectures and model lifecycle tooling (evaluation, fine-tuning, verification, deployment).
• Run continuous discovery with engineers, operators, and executive stakeholders; turn findings into prioritized backlogs.
• Prioritize ruthlessly across competing initiatives with small teams and aggressive timelines.
• Author strategy documents, product briefs, and executive updates that drive decisions.
• Manage transitions of maturing products from incubation to owning organizations.
