Description: The Product Manager drives end-to-end product strategy, execution, and lifecycle management. This includes defining product vision, deeply understanding user needs, prioritizing requirements, and ensuring the product delivers measurable business impact. You'll work across engineering, design, data, and cross-functional partners to build solutions that are scalable, user-centric, and aligned with the company's long-term goals. Success in this role requires balancing customer value, technical constraints, and business outcomes while maintaining a strong focus on quality, adoption, and user satisfaction.
Core Skills Must-Have - Strong product strategy and prioritization abilities
- Solid understanding of data platform fundamentals

Platform Thinking - APIs, SDKs, and self-service tools
- Multi-tenant vs. single-tenant architectures
- Scalability, performance, and cost tradeoffs
- Internal vs. customer-facing platform considerations
ML Fundamentals for PMs - Supervised vs. unsupervised models
- Training vs. inference
- Features, labels, and datasets

- Understanding overfitting and generalization
Realities of ML Products - Outputs are probabilistic
- Performance degrades over time (data drift, concept drift)
- Data quality often matters more than algorithms
- Development is iterative and experimental
Areas to Understand Deeply - Model training pipelines
- Deployment patterns (batch, real-time, edge)
- Monitoring, retraining, and versioning
- Rollbacks and experimentation (A/B, canary releases)
Metrics & Experimentation Metrics to Balance - Business: revenue, conversion, cost savings
- Model: accuracy, recall/precision
- Data: freshness, null rates, coverage
- Platform: latency, uptime, adoption
Experimentation Skills - Designing tests where outcomes aren't binary
- Interpreting noisy or delayed signals
- Knowing when metrics are misleading
Key Responsibilities - Manage all technical aspects of the product throughout its lifecycle
- Collaborate with stakeholders, vendors, and partners to ensure successful delivery
- Maintain and communicate product catalog and roadmap
- Define and monitor key product metrics to elevate customer experience
- Gather, refine, and analyze requirements to ensure they're testable and traceable
