About the Role:

As the Agents Product Manager for the API team, you'll be at the forefront of defining and guiding the future of how developers build agentic applications on top of our AI models. You'll set clear priorities and drive impactful improvements to model capabilities, balancing user needs, safety considerations, and technical innovation. This role is perfect for a proactive, technically adept PM who thrives on solving challenging, ambiguous problems through structured product thinking and close collaboration with customers, engineers, and researchers.

  • Define strategic priorities and roadmap for improving agentic infrastructure for API users, focusing on user outcomes and emerging capabilities.
  • Partner with research and engineering teams at a technical level to translate those priorities into developer products and features (SDKs, APIs, and more).
  • Deliver quickly while maintaining a high bar for product quality and user experience.


You might thrive in this role if you:
  • Have 5+ years of product management or related industry experience.
  • Proven track record of building for developers, with strong intuition for designing clear, flexible APIs and primitives that scale from early experimentation to production use.
  • Have experience collaborating directly and deeply with high-growth tech companies.
  • Have hands-on experience driving consensus and action in ambiguous spaces.
  • Excel at collaborating across diverse teams and communicating complex ideas clearly.
