About our Technical Product Manager teamOur Technical Product Manager team builds the Data Factory at David AI. We set the strategy for how raw audio becomes high-quality training data, decide what gets built, and own the outcomes: scale, quality, cost, and the experience of our contributors. Working across Operations, Engineering, and Research, we move fluidly across all three to solve some of the most challenging problems at David AI.
About this roleDavid AI is hiring a Technical Product Manager to own a core part of our Data Factory, from early prototypes through production scale. Depending on your background and where we need you most, that could cover our contributor marketplace, our Operations infrastructure, a new or scaling business unit, or the systems our ML team relies on. You'll need the operational chops to lead complex efforts, the instinct to automate them, the technical ability to build the first MVP yourself, and the judgment to partner with engineering and research to implement at scale.
In this role, you will- Own the strategy and roadmap for your area of the Data Factory, from 01 prototypes through scaled production systems.
- Lead complex operational efforts and design the workflows and automation that let them scale.
- Build the first version yourself-scripts, queries, dashboards, and prototypes-then partner with engineering to implement it at scale.
- Translate the model capabilities our customers care about into concrete workflows, requirements, and project plans.
- Partner with Operations, Engineering, and Research to focus the team on the most important problems and take new systems from idea to deployment.
- Use data to guide decision making, diagnose issues, and measure performance against throughput, quality, and cost.
- Know when to move fast and when to slow down for alignment, with a bias for rapid prototyping.
- Take full-stack accountability across product, operations, engineering, and customers, solving bottlenecks and ensuring delivery.
Your background looks like- Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or another technical / STEM field, or comparable work experience.
- 2-8 years of experience in product, operations, consulting, or startup environments.
- Direct experience as a product manager, technical program manager, founder, or technical operator accountable for outcomes.
- Highly proficient in SQL and able to develop lightweight prototypes end-to-end.
- A track record of building your own tools in operationally complex roles, or of taking a messy business problem from data foundation through analysis to implementation.
- Systems thinker who can spot leverage points and design for scale and durability.
- Strong product intuition, able to work with engineers and researchers to get to the right answer fast.
- High-execution operator: fast, detail-oriented, and uncompromising on quality.
