Product Manager, Platform

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

• 2 – 8+ years of product management experience building technical or developer-facing products (we are hiring at multiple levels for this role).
• Strong technical background — CS/EE degree, production engineering experience, or equivalent depth earned on the job.
• Familiarity with the inference lifecycle: model serving, latency and throughput tradeoffs, and how these connect to cost in production.
• Demonstrated ownership of a product area end to end from strategy, spec, launch, to metrics.
• Excellent written communication. You can write a spec, a launch post, and a customer-facing explanation of a tradeoff, and all three will be clear.
• Comfort with ambiguity, and a bias toward shipping and learning over waiting for certainty.
• Deep hunger and motivation. This isn't a 9-5 job and you'll be expected to step up, especially during periods of "wartime."

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• You've personally built on top of an LLM API and felt the latency, cost, and reliability tradeoffs firsthand.
• Experience with self-serve or PLG products — signup and onboarding funnels, usage-based billing, quota and rate-limit design.
• Experience with trust and safety, fraud, or abuse prevention at scale — payment fraud, free-tier abuse, or account takeover.
• Understanding of GPU economics and how utilization, batching, and latency SLAs trade off against margin.
• Experience with cloud or developer platforms with metered pricing, or with the account, identity, and org-management surfaces enterprises expect.
• Early startup or founding experience.
