Product Lead, AI Platform

Are you a technical powerhouse who also loves building and mentoring high-performing teams? At 6sense, we are architecting the definitive intelligence layer for B2B-the reasoning engine that powers the world's most sophisticated revenue organizations-and that transformation requires a foundational infrastructure where AI-driven reasoning powers every workflow. We are looking for a Product Lead to own our AI OS: the underlying operating system and orchestration engine that enables every product team at 6sense to build secure, reliable, and highly intelligent agentic experiences.

This is a Player/Coach role. You will be hands-on leading our core AI infrastructure while simultaneously serving as the people manager and program leader for a specialized pod of Product Managers. You aren't just managing a backlog; you are defining the architectural standards for how 6sense builds and ships AI at scale.

Your Impact

As Product Lead, AI Platform, you will:

• Lead and Scale a High-Performing Pod. Act as a formal people manager, responsible for hiring, coaching, and developing a specialized team of PMs. You will define the pod's operating model, ensuring clear boundaries between platform infrastructure and agentic capabilities.

• Own the AI Orchestration Layer. Personally drive the design and evolution of our core orchestration engine, ensuring robust state management, tenant routing, and high-performance runtime for intelligent workflows.

• Modernize the Developer Experience. Design and maintain the internal SDKs and capability registration patterns that allow other teams to build, register, and call intelligence tools within the AI OS.

• Define Evaluation and Trust Standards. Build the frameworks, guardrails, and security protocols that ensure our AI outputs remain accurate, evidenced, and enterprise-grade across the entire platform.

• Lead Foundational Model Strategy. Drive our model strategy, including routing logic, cost optimization, and compute infrastructure management to maximize both performance and efficiency.

• Be a Strategic Partner to Leadership. Act as a force multiplier for the Head of Intelligence Product-surfacing technical risks early, driving clarity in platform architecture, and turning AI strategy into operating reality.

Strategic Themes You'll Drive

• The Infrastructure of Reasoning. Shift the organization from hard-coded logic to a dynamic orchestration model, providing the "plumbing" that makes multi-step agentic tasks possible.

• Contract-First Platform Development. Define the technical contracts that allow teams to consume AI capabilities in a self-serve, standardized manner.

• Platform Efficiency & Scalability. Ensure the AI OS is built for enterprise scale, managing the balance between rapid innovation and the rigorous demands of global B2B environments.

What You'll Bring

• People Leadership. Proven experience building and leading product teams. You know how to mentor senior PMs, manage performance, and create environments where technical builders thrive.

• Technical Mastery. Deep, hands-on expertise with the modern AI stack. You've personally architected orchestration layers, developer platforms, or complex distributed systems at scale-not just sponsored the work.

• Operating Rigor. You build operating rhythms that scale, drive clarity in ambiguous environments, and turn messy cross-team dependencies into clean execution.

• Systems Thinking. You see the whole system-strategy, org, data, and execution-and know which lever to pull when something is stuck.

• Experience. 8-10+ years in Product Management, with a focus on AI, Platform, or Infrastructure, including 3-5+ years of formal people management experience in a high-growth environment.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Impact: You are architecting the Foundational AI Operating System of 6sense-the underlying infrastructure that every other agentic workflow across the company relies on to function.

• Innovation: You get to define the technical standards for agent orchestration and model routing at enterprise scale, solving infrastructure challenges most companies haven't even encountered yet.

• Growth: Join a rocket ship, learn every day, and accelerate your career in a collaborative, high-energy environment.

• Fun: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Expect GIFs, puns, and the occasional ABM meme.
