About the Role
The Principal Technical Product Manager for AI Integration owns the strategy and delivery of Cotality Insurance's external-facing AI integration layer. This includes the MCP server ecosystem, AI/API gateway, developer experience, and the platform that enables AI agents from clients and third-party partners to discover, authenticate, and consume Cotality's insurance data products autonomously. This is a technical product leadership role with a player-coach model.
Responsibilities
- Define MCP Platform Strategy & Roadmap, including which Cotality data products get exposed as MCP tools, in what order, and with what capabilities.
- Align the connector roadmap with business priorities across Claims, Underwriting, Catastrophe Risk, and Contractor Solutions.
- Own sequencing decisions for product releases.
- Partner with product teams and the Data Architect to define data exposed through each MCP tool, including fields, boundaries, and descriptions for AI agents.
- Work with the Architect and engineering team to define gateway configurations, authentication flows, and the aggregation layer.
- Make architecture tradeoff decisions, optimizing for speed vs. extensibility, API wrapping vs. new builds, and shipping speed vs. perfection.
- Own the end-to-end developer experience for external developers and AI platforms integrating with Cotality's MCP endpoints.
- Own the strategy for ensuring data delivered through MCP tools is verifiable, auditable, and resistant to misattribution or hallucination by consuming AI agents.
- Define response metadata standards, logging requirements, and guardrails for data provenance and trust.
- Work with product marketing, sales engineering, and business development to position the MCP platform for clients and partners.
- Support demos, pilot programs, and partner integrations.
- Drive delivery through a dedicated MCP engineering team and application team partners.
- Define what needs to be built, set priorities, and shape tool designs.
Requirements
- 8+ years in technical product management or architecture, with at least 3 years owning API platforms, developer tools, data products, or integration infrastructure.
- Engineering background with professional coding experience and an intuitive understanding of great developer experience.
- Demonstrated experience shipping developer-facing or machine-consumable products with measurable adoption metrics.
- Strong understanding of API gateway patterns, OAuth/authentication flows, and distributed systems communication.
- Working knowledge of how large language models consume tools, including function calling, tool descriptions, context windows, and failure modes.
- Experience defining data products for external consumption, including exposure, withholding, response structuring, and managing data quality and trust.
- Track record of driving delivery through cross-functional teams without direct reporting authority.
- Exceptional written communication skills for tool descriptions, documentation, strategy documents, and contract language.
- Comfort with ambiguity and speed, including making decisions with incomplete information, shipping MVPs, and iterating rapidly.
- Experience with specific API gateway technologies (Apigee, Kong, AWS API Gateway, or equivalent) is preferred.
- Hands-on experience with developer documentation and portal platforms (Mintlify, Swagger/OpenAPI, Redoc, ReadMe, or similar) is preferred.
- Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or equivalent agent-tool interface standards is preferred.
- Experience in insurance, financial services, or regulated data industries is preferred.
- Understanding of data provenance, audit requirements, and compliance considerations in regulated environments is preferred.
- Experience with pricing and packaging of API/data products is preferred.
- Background in or exposure to AI/ML workflows, particularly enterprise AI agent deployment, is preferred.
