About the role
Agents are the heart of the platform and the hardest thing to get right. The line between "helpful" and "made something up," between "took the action" and "did the wrong thing," is a product problem as much as a model problem. We're looking for a PM who can own that line and the roadmap around it. You’ll own the roadmap for AI agents — how customers define an agent’s instructions, tools, knowledge, and guardrails, how runs behave across channels, and when an agent hands off to a person. This is a technical PM role. You’ll turn messy, high-stakes customer problems into a product that other builders can reason about, work shoulder to shoulder with AI and platform engineers, and make the hard calls about scope, safety, and sequencing. Success looks like agents that resolve more real cases while staying grounded and controllable — and customers who trust them enough to turn them on.
What you’ll do:
Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the AI agent platform, from tool definitions and knowledge to handoff and guardrails.
Talk to customers constantly — understand where agents win, where they fail, and what would make teams trust them with more.
Write the specs and make the trade-offs: what ships, what waits, and what we deliberately won't do.
Partner with engineering on evaluation — define what "better" means and hold the bar with data.
Work with design on how confidence, citations, approvals, and handoff appear to operators and end customers.
Coordinate launches with docs, sales, and support so a capability lands well, not just ships.
What we’re looking for:
5+ years in product management, including technical or platform/API products.
Fluency with how modern AI systems behave — you can have a real conversation with engineers about retrieval, tool calling, and evaluation.
A track record of shipping products that developers or operators rely on, and of saying no well.
Strong written communication — you make complex things clear on a page.
Comfort with ambiguity and high stakes; you design for failure and human control, not just the happy path.
Nice to have:
Background in CPaaS, customer support tooling, or conversational products. Hands-on technical experience (former engineer, or you still prototype).Experience with regulated or enterprise buyers.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
