Why Join Us:

Role Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end design and delivery of AI-first workflows for complex knowledge work (e.g. preparation, collaboration, and follow-up around key meetings and decisions)
  • Design and iterate multi-step LLM / agent systems, including intent understanding, planning, tool/skill invocation, memory usage, and refinement loops
  • Build and evolve reusable AI capabilities (skills, prompts, templates, evaluation pipelines) that can be composed into multiple product experiences
  • Define clear success metrics for AI behavior, run experiments, and use data and examples from real interactions to continuously improve reliability and usefulness
  • Work closely with Engineering and ML to make pragmatic trade-offs and ship fast, while keeping a strong bar for product quality and user experience

Qualifications

Required

  • Solid experience building and shipping AI or ML-powered products end to end, ideally as a Product Manager, AI Engineer, or similar hybrid role
  • Strong working understanding of LLM-based systems: prompting, tool calling / APIs, retrieval / context construction, evaluation of model outputs, and common failure modes
  • Ability to translate messy user needs into clear specs and flows, including example prompts, edge cases, and expected behaviors for the AI system
  • Comfortable working with data and real interaction logs to debug, compare variants, and make decisions (not afraid of digging into dashboards or raw examples)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication in English, and proven ability to work with engineers and researchers on technically deep topics
  • Hands-on experience designing or implementing agent-like workflows (multi-step plans, calling multiple tools/skills, self-correction or refinement)
  • Experience shipping AI assistants, copilots, or productivity tools that are used frequently in users' daily workflows
  • Ability to read basic code or notebooks (e.g. Python) well enough to collaborate closely with ML/engineering and reason about system behavior
  • Track record of working in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments, taking ideas from 0 → 1 with tight feedback loops
