JOB-1844

Our client is a Series A company that supplies agentic AI to retail financial institutions. It wants a principal-level product leader to take charge of the shared AI platform underneath all its products. As the company moves to a newer agent platform, this person will choose what to merge, build and retire.

Responsibilities

  • Work with engineering leaders to rank what the platform should do, and guide the other product managers
  • Arbitrate between conflicting asks from the company’s product lines and decide sequencing
  • Audit the layered platform to learn what is already built, what can be pooled across products and what is missing
  • Own the interfaces other teams rely on: API design, version management, retiring old releases and migration planning
  • Stay close to the details, sharing accountability for results alongside engineers, and use AI tools to build every day

Qualifications

  • Eight to fifteen years in product management, including at least two recent years owning a product at a Series A to D startup at staff or principal level
  • Experience owning a multi-component platform that serves several product teams
  • AI or ML platform background such as LLM orchestration, evals, fine-tuning, RAG or agentic frameworks
  • Proven zero-to-one ownership from concept to launch
  • Hands-on building with AI agents, scripts or workflows beyond prompting
  • A technical or engineering background is a plus
