Job description

Los Altos, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) | On-site | Full-time

MaxIT Consulting is looking for a Technical Product Manager to join a venture-backed, early-stage AI company building an AI-native operating system for drug development programs, already used by leading biopharma companies.

The Opportunity

You will turn product concepts into engineering-ready specs: how each requirement fits the existing architecture, what gets stored, how AI agents should behave and what "correct" looks like for AI features. You will work with the founders, design, a domain team and engineering. No prior domain experience is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Break product briefs into components and scope what goes into each build.
• Write numbered feature stories with acceptance criteria, edge cases and state transitions.
• Review data models and API contracts against the existing schema.
• Run specs through review with engineering and domain experts before handoff.
• Define what "correct" means for AI features such as document extraction and classification.
• Own product quality for shipped features.

Required Qualifications

• 3 to 6 years in product management or technical program management as an individual contributor.
• Has written build-ready specs (data models, API shapes, state diagrams, acceptance criteria) that engineering built from directly.
• Can read a codebase and reason about system architecture.
• Shipped at a startup or mid-size company with few resources and real ambiguity.
• Fluent with AI tools such as Claude Code or Cursor; clear, precise writing.

Nice to Have

• Built AI-native products: LLM integrations, structured extraction, agentic workflows or evaluation frameworks.
• Products in complex domains (legal, financial, clinical, regulatory) or document-heavy, data-quality-heavy products.

Work Arrangement

On-site role in Los Altos, CA (San Francisco Bay Area); fully remote is not possible. Candidates must live in or relocate to the Bay Area and must already be authorized to work in the United States.
