You will define the strategy and partner with engineering, design, and GTM teams to bring it to life across SeekrFlow.

Key Responsibilities
  • Define and own the product strategy for explainability and contestability across SeekrFlow
  • Build and maintain a roadmap that improves how users understand, debug, and refine AI system behavior
  • Write clear product specifications that define features, workflows, and expected system behavior for engineering and design teams
  • Define product capabilities across UI, API, and SDK, ensuring consistency for both SaaS and self-hosted deployments
  • Partner with engineering and design to deliver intuitive workflows for diagnosing issues and improving outcomes
  • Work across teams to ensure explainability capabilities are implemented consistently throughout the platform
  • Identify gaps in the current user experience and prioritize high-impact improvements
  • Gather and synthesize feedback from customers, internal teams, and usage data to inform product decisions
  • Support enterprise and regulated use cases by enabling auditability, traceability, and reproducibility
  • Partner with GTM and field teams to position explainability capabilities and support customer engagements
  • Define success metrics and track performance to ensure measurable improvements in user outcomes

Qualifications
  • 8-12+ years of product management experience
  • Experience operating at a Principal, Group PM, or Director level
  • Background in platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products
  • Experience working with AI/ML systems (LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning, or agent-based systems)
  • Experience in B2B product environments, preferably enterprise-focused

Technical Skills
  • Strong understanding of AI/ML concepts, particularly LLM behavior and evaluation
  • Familiarity with model training and fine-tuning workflows
  • Understanding of agent-based systems, including orchestration, tool usage, and execution flows
  • Experience with observability, debugging, or system instrumentation
  • Ability to define product capabilities across multiple surfaces (UI, API, SDK)
  • Comfortable working with deployment models including SaaS and self-hosted environments

Nice to Have
  • Ability to use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., copilots, code-generating models) to prototype workflows, test ideas, or validate product concepts

What We're Looking For
  • Strong product writing skills with the ability to produce clear, structured specifications
  • Ability to define product direction in ambiguous problem spaces
  • Strong product judgment and prioritization skills
  • Experience driving cross-functional execution across engineering, design, and GTM
  • Clear communicator who can translate complex systems into understandable product decisions
  • Focus on building products that drive real-world usage and measurable outcomes

What's In It for You
  • Ownership of a core platform capability that directly impacts production adoption
  • Opportunity to work on complex problems at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and UX
  • Collaboration with experienced engineering and design teams
  • Competitive compensation, equity, and full benefits
  • Hybrid work environment with in-office collaboration
