About the Role

We are looking for a deeply technical, systems-thinking Product Manager to own the core platform that powers Cogna’s AI-first software creation tools. You will be responsible for building large-scale, globally distributed backend systems and for shaping how AI is used in a reliable, reusable capability across the company. A central part of this role is owning our Agent Platform: a managed set of agents that any of our product teams can easily spin up and surface within their own products. This role suits someone who thrives in a 0→1 environment but knows how to operationalise product development for scale.

Responsibilities

Own the Agent Platform: Define and ship a managed set of agents that product teams across Cogna can spin up to do a defined set of things, making AI a usable part of our products.
Build systems at scale: Partner with engineering to design and deliver large-scale, globally distributed backend services and APIs that are extensible and built to grow.
Go deep on AI/LLMs: Shape how large language models are used at a systems level, understanding context bundles, state management, and reliable product behavior.
Drive iterative development: Ship MVPs, measure them, and evolve them based on real usage.
Run delivery hands-on: Keep dev teams aligned on priorities and track delivery closely.
Decide with low signal: Make good calls with limited customer data, relying on technical judgment and intuition.
Own outcomes: Define success metrics and use data to track adoption, reliability, and impact, iterating to improve.

Requirements

4+ years in product management, with a track record across both 0→1 work and scaling systems in high-growth environments.
Scale-up experience: Worked at mid-to-large company scale, understanding scaling journeys.
Deeply technical background: Highly technical PM experience with backend services, ideally scaled services.
AI/LLM depth: Understanding of building systems that utilize AI context bundles, state, and bringing LLMs into reliable product experiences.
Comfortable with AI tooling: Experience using tools like Claude Code and Claude Design for prototyping.
Enterprise mindset: Experience building for enterprise customers and understanding their approach to experimentation and satisfaction.
Thrives in ambiguity: Effective action-taking without full clarity and when signal is low.
Experimentation mindset: Agile, comfortable trying, measuring, and changing course quickly.
Well-rounded PM: Possesses a full range of product skills, not a narrow focus.
