Deeply understand the AI Agent market, major players, trends and how it may impact our strategy
Work directly data science and engineering to build out the strategy for benchmarking and evaluations of agent capabilities
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.

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.
