> Founding PM to build Traba's AI agent platform (Claude-like for light industrial supply chain).

Requires 7+ years PM experience, prior launch of production AI agents (not just copilots), deep technical fluency with ML teams, and comfort in 0-to-1 startup environments.
## Job Description
## 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

## Requirements
- 7 – 10 years of experience as a Product Manager
- Evidence of launching products from scratch and driving meaningful customer outcomes
- Experience building AI-native products or customer-facing agent systems
- Strong technical abilities with the ability to work deeply with engineering and ML teams
- Ability to read evaluations, reason through system performance, and prototype ideas
- Experience operating in highly ambiguous startup environments with fast iteration cycles
- Deep familiarity with AI tools and hands-on experience building with modern AI systems
- Desire to work at a startup and cover an exceptionally wide surface area
- A strong work ethic and desire to build a category-defining company

## Nice-to-haves
- Experience with forward deployed environments or customer-embedded product development models

## Compensation
- Base salary: $180,000 - $210,000 (exceptions possible for exceptional candidates)
- Highly competitive equity package
- Benefits: startup equity, 100% paid health/dental/vision, dinner provided (NY), commuter benefit, team building events, Gympass, flexible PTO, One Medical, HSA, Talkspace, Health Advocate, Teledoc
