Role Description

The Technical Product Manager of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems is a deeply technical, hands-on role. This position is 100% Remote and requires the candidate to be willing to take a 60-minute coding assessment.

• Research and define end-to-end Artificial Intelligence (AI) system requirements from capability to behavior to user impact.
• Translate model capabilities, data constraints, and evaluation results into clear product and system decisions.
• Make hard trade-offs across quality, latency, cost, reliability, and UX.
• Work closely with Machine Learning (ML), backend, and mobile engineers on system design, evaluation, and iteration.
• Define and evolve evaluation frameworks across offline metrics, online experiments, and human feedback.
• Drive execution with clear specs, strong judgment, and disciplined prioritization.
• Ensure systems ship quickly, safely, and reliably, with strong feedback loops.
• Own product quality end-to-end correctness, predictability, and user trust.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) experience required.
• Experience working with model evaluation, prompt or pipeline iteration, and feedback loops.
• Strong intuition for model limitations, hallucinations, bias, and drift.
• Strong grounding in computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, and system design.
• Solid understanding of Machine Learning (ML) fundamentals and how modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems behave in production.
• Comfort reading, reviewing, and discussing technical design documents.
• Significant experience owning complex, technical products end-to-end.
• Proven ability to work closely with senior engineers and ML teams.
• Strong judgment and decision-making ability in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Ability to balance ambition with technical and operational reality.
• Experience shipping Artificial Intelligence (AI)-heavy consumer products is a plus.
