- 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 evangelise 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
Requirements:
- Extensive Experience: 10+ years of experience in product management or solution delivery for technical, cloud infrastructure, or platform products
