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
