Your Impact


As a Senior AI Product Manager, you will play a critical role in shaping our product portfolio across two strategic pillars: Infrastructure Efficiency and User Experience. You will drive initiatives to optimize token costs through engineering collaboration and build "super agents" via our Agent Builder project to manifest advanced user experiences on the web. You will own the product lifecycle, monitoring usage metrics closely to identify adoption trends and proactively implementing strategies to maintain our ambitious productivity targets. By translating complex technical requirements into actionable roadmaps, you will work cross-functionally to ensure every product we ship is secure, cost-effective, and delivers measurable value to our global workforce.
