- Work with design to build user experiences that address gaps in how agents show and refine context as they work
- Be the product expert and evangelize capabilities for Agent Builder through content like blog posts and open source projects
- Work with a broad ecosystem of AI partners including cloud service providers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) and community developers
What You Bring
- Extensive Experience: 10+ years of experience in product management or solution delivery for technical, cloud infrastructure, or platform products. A consistent record of leading sophisticated, data-intensive products from inception through launch and iterative growth.

- Leadership and Influence: Demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organization, align multiple stakeholders toward a common vision, and drive execution in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
- Communication Excellence: Outstanding spoken and written communication skills. You can distill complex engineering details into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership.
