The RoleWe're hiring a Product Manager to own a core surface of the Patlytics platform end-to-end - from strategy through shipped, adopted workflows. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering, design, GTM, and our in-house patent attorneys to build features that our customers rely on for high-stakes work: patent portfolio management, active litigation, prosecution, and licensing negotiations where being wrong isn't an option.
This is a builder role. You'll set the vision, write crisp one pagers, and stay close to the product to feel every rough edge yourself. You'll also stay close to customers, hopping on calls with patent attorneys at AmLaw 100 firms and Fortune 500 IP teams to understand their workflows, iterate on what you're building, and personally drive adoption.
What You'll Do- Own a core product area: set the strategy, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship outcomes (not output) across modules like drafting, infringement analysis, invalidity research, or portfolio management.
- Live with customers: spend real time with patent attorneys and in-house IP counsel through discovery calls, design partnerships, and on-sites. Translate what you hear into product.
- Bridge law and AI: translate nuanced patent workflows (Office Action responses, claim charting, SEP analysis, invalidity contentions) into elegant, scalable software.
- Prompt Engineering: Design, test, and iterate on complex LLM prompts and AI agents to ensure our models output highly accurate, citation-backed, and legally sound results.
- Define and move the metrics: instrument what matters, then drive measurable impact on activation, adoption, retention, and customer outcomes.
- Drive product velocity: maintain a rapid shipping cadence without sacrificing the enterprise-grade accuracy, auditability, and security our customers demand.
What We're Looking ForRequired- 7+ years of product management experience with a clear track record of driving impact - you can point to specific outcomes (adoption, revenue, retention, efficiency) that your work moved.
- Products you've shipped that you're proud of, and the receipts to prove they drove real customer and business outcomes.
- Customer-centric builder at heart. You're not afraid to hop on calls with customers to dig into pain points, iterate alongside them, and personally drive adoption - not delegate it.
- Experience building B2B workflow software where users live in the product every day and small frictions compound into big problems.
- Extreme ownership, strong judgment under ambiguity, and a bias toward shipping and learning over planning in a vacuum.
Bonus- Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, evals, or shipping LLM-powered features in production - you stay current with advances in LLMs, retrieval, and agent architectures.
- Experience building vertical AI products, especially for technical, regulated, or expert-user domains (legal, healthcare, financial services, etc.).
- Familiarity with IP, patents, or legal tech - not required, but a head start in understanding our users.
Why Patlytics- The opportunity to work at the intersection of AI and law, shaping how the world's most important IP decisions get made
- Opportunity to join a rocket ship in the earliest stages of global scale-up
- Global exposure: deal with the world's top law firms, tech giants, and innovation-driven corporations
- No bureaucracy. No ceiling. Just impact, ownership, and velocity.
