Staff Product Manager

What you’ll do

• Architect and steward product strategy for Traba’s AI agent platform
• Solve complex customer problems by balancing user needs, technical constraints, and evolving AI capabilities
• Write detailed product requirements and partner deeply with product engineers and ML teams
• Rapidly validate and prototype ideas alongside customers and design partners
• Design agent systems that reason through workflows, orchestrate tools, maintain context, and execute meaningful work
• Define product behavior, evaluation systems, and quality frameworks that improve reliability and performance
• Use data to uncover patterns and answer key product and system questions
• Evolve our AI product portfolio with a deep understanding of model capabilities and system architecture
• Visualize and communicate complex concepts from system behavior and evaluations to user experiences and business impact
• Socialize your work across all levels and departments while synthesizing diverse stakeholder feedback

What we’re looking for

• Real agent builder: launched customer-facing AI products where the system took meaningful actions on behalf of users (agents that execute workflows, orchestrate systems, use tools, maintain context, and perform work autonomously)
• 0-to-1 operator: built products from scratch with real customers, launched, rebuilt, changed direction, killed ideas, and iterated toward signals; comfortable creating structures where no playbook exists
• AI-native problem solver: move quickly in environments where models evolve constantly and assumptions regularly break; navigate prompt rewrites, model shifts, reliability tradeoffs, and capability cliffs
• First-principles thinker: spend equal time thinking about why, how, and what; strong product judgment from deeply understanding systems and constraints
• Customer-embedded builder: deeply embed with early customers, understand workflows firsthand, rapidly ship based on direct feedback loops; experience with forward deployed or customer-embedded product development highly valued
• Technical depth: comfortable operating alongside ML engineers and highly technical teams as peers; understand evaluations, reason through system tradeoffs, prototype ideas, participate in technical conversations; strong technical instincts
• Builder mentality: inventive and scrappy problem solver; move quickly, embrace ambiguity, create meaningful outcomes without relying on giant teams or excessive process
• Deeply collaborative: work seamlessly across engineering, ML, operations, design, leadership, and customers

• Evidence of launching products from scratch and driving meaningful customer outcomes
• Experience building AI-native products or customer-facing agent systems
