Product Manager | Core Platform

Role

Senior Technical Product Manager for the Core Platform focused on system-level product strategy, platform reliability and developer experience. The role requires deep systems fluency, active participation in system design, and aggressive use of AI tooling to prototype and validate solutions before production.

Key Responsibilities

• Own platform strategy that accounts for technical constraints and unlocks capabilities rather than hiding behind abstractions.
• Translate business objectives into technical product bets, define metrics, and instrument systems to drive decisions from telemetry and data.
• Drive discovery at the API, data-model, and architecture levels to understand feasibility before formalizing requirements.
• Engage directly in system design: read specs, evaluate tradeoffs, and push back on decisions that create long-term debt.
• Write precise PRDs and deliver blueprints or working prototypes that reduce ambiguity for engineering teams.
• Vibe-code working prototypes using AI coding environments and deploy them to real users and SMEs for live lab testing and behavioral data collection.
• Build and maintain a personal AI toolkit (LLMs, agent frameworks, AI-assisted development environments) to accelerate research, prototyping, and spec writing.
• Align stakeholders and influence cross-functional teams (engineering, design, data, infra, security) to drive outcomes without creating coordination overhead.

Requirements

• 7+ years building technical products (APIs, platforms, data products, or infrastructure-adjacent experiences) with a track record of shipping behavior-changing outcomes.
• Background including engineering, data engineering, or systems design with experience making technical tradeoffs under pressure.
• Genuine fluency with AI tooling: LLMs, agent frameworks, AI-assisted development and research environments, and AI-assisted coding workflows.
• Experience partnering with platform, infrastructure, or data engineering teams and comfort working with systems that may lack a clean UI.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to produce precise, unambiguous documentation and executive narratives.
• High agency and ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous environments.

What This Role Is Not

• Not a project management or roadmap-administration role; not a translation layer between users and engineers. The role is system- and outcome-focused.

Success Milestones (30/60/90 days)

• 30 days: Map platform usage and workarounds; identify key friction points in the ODA and compute stack.
• 60 days: Own a clear platform product bet and establish at least one engineering team as an active customer.
• 90 days: Ship a measurable platform improvement that reduces friction and establish a durable feedback loop between Platform and product teams.

Compensation & Benefits (summary)

• Work from anywhere in the US (digital-first).
• Medical, dental, and vision offerings; FSA/HSA; additional health and wellness benefits.
• Tuition reimbursement.
• Competitive salary, meaningful equity, 401(k) with company match.
• Unlimited PTO and flexible work environment.
