- Act as the Foundation’s primary product counterpart to Sentient Labs’ research and product teams, translating their research into Foundation products and aligning roadmaps.
- Package technical work into usable products such as documentation, demos, benchmarks, leaderboards, blog posts, and developer workflows.
- Run developer-facing programs including public challenges, competitions, hackathons, cohorts, and partner-backed launches.
- Build feedback loops from developers, researchers, partners, and open-source contributors into the roadmap.
- Shape product strategy for emerging categories like agent evaluation and open-source AI distribution.
Requirements
- 4+ years of product experience in AI/ML, developer platforms, infrastructure, or technical tools.
- Experience leading a product team or owning a product function.
- Experience leading people and operating as a senior cross-org partner.
- Track record of shipping complex 0-to-1 products in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
- Hands-on familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, evals, benchmarking, or model deployment workflows.
