Job Description

We’re building intelligent, autonomous AI agents that can reason, plan, and act across real-world workflows. These agents go beyond chat — they take meaningful action, work across tools and systems, and operate in complex, high-stakes environments.

As our Product Manager, you’ll lead the definition and delivery of early use cases for agentic AI. You’ll turn cutting-edge agent capabilities — like long-term memory, tool use, and planning — into applied, valuable products.

You’ll be use-case–driven, but platform-aware — working closely with engineering and research to ensure what we build is feasible, scalable, and aligned with the underlying agent architecture.

Responsibilities:

Use Case Discovery & Validation

  • Identify and prioritize agent use cases with high ROI: operational automation, coordination agents, internal task delegation, etc.
  • Work with users and stakeholders to understand their workflows, challenges, and trust boundaries.
  • Prototype and iterate agent behaviors in production-like environments to validate fit and reliability.

Product Design & Execution

  • Define the agent experience — from delegation to monitoring to escalation — for real-world scenarios.
  • Translate use cases into clear product specs: user flows, system interactions, prompts, safety requirements, and interfaces.
  • Own the roadmap and ship iteratively: starting small, learning fast, scaling wisely.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with engineering to align product needs with agent platform capabilities (planning, memory, tool orchestration, retries, etc.).
  • Partner with AI research to bring experimental features into real-world settings.
  • Ensure the platform supports the complexity of applied, multi-step, tool-using agents.

Strategy & Metrics

  • Define success metrics around outcomes — time saved, accuracy improved, failures recovered — not just clicks or sessions.
  • Build product foundations that allow for vertical reuse, system generalization, and long-term scalability.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product management or startup experience building technically complex, user-facing systems
  • Strong intuition for applied use cases — especially in automation, operations, or real-world workflows
  • Familiarity with agentic AI patterns and tooling (e.g., LLM agents, tool use, LangChain, OpenAI functions, memory systems)
  • Experience working closely with engineers and researchers on system-level product decisions
  • Strong communication, prioritization, and execution skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to or interest in domains like logistics, field ops, manufacturing, or systems integration
  • Background in AI/ML infrastructure, developer platforms, robotics, or IIoT
  • Experience designing for human-in-the-loop or semi-autonomous systems
  • Hands-on experience with prototyping workflows or agents using modern frameworks (e.g. LangGraph, AutoGen)

Additional Information

What We’re Offering

  • Salary Range: $170,000 to $185,000 plus bonus potential
  • Flexible paid time off, including sick and holiday
  •  Medical, dental, & vision insurance
  •  Flexible spending accounts
  •  Life insurance and disability benefits
  •  Tuition assistance
  •  Community involvement and volunteering events

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
