Our technologists are engineering highly available, high performing and highly secure cloud platforms and infrastructure which support and scale our investing operations. About the Role Bridgewater is re-architecting how engineering work gets done through agentic systems. We are looking for a Sr. Product Manager to define and drive this transformation. This role sits at the center of a rapidly evolving, high-priority initiative: building a cohesive agentic platform across a fragmented ecosystem of internal systems and best-in-class external tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, CLI interfaces). You will partner directly with senior engineering leadership to shape the long-term vision and roadmap for how agentic workflows scale across the firm, starting with Software Engineers to Investors. This is a high-judgment, high-ownership role. You will define direction, bring clarity to in a highly ambiguous environment, and align teams around a coherent strategy in a space that is still being invented. If you are successful in this role: 1) a clear, opinionated roadmap that defines the future of agentic engineering at Bridgewater is built, 2) a cohesive platform strategy across internal and external tools exists, 3) broad adoption of agentic workflows across engineering and investment teams is evident and welcomed, and 4) engineers and investors experience meaningful improvements in productivity, reliability, and automation. You Will Drive the Following Responsibilities Set Direction in an Emerging Space Define "Agentic Engineering" at Bridgewater and how it evolves over the next several years Own and extend the product roadmap beyond near-term execution into a durable, long-term strategy Bring structure and coherence to a fast-moving, ambiguous landscape Drive Firmwide Adoption of Agentic Workflows Lead the rollout of agentic solutions across the company. Shape how individuals across the firm interact with AI to be productive in their work — research, analysis, decision making, coding, code review, operations, and incident response Define and track what "good" looks like for agent quality, adoption, and impact across audiences Build a Cohesive Platform from a Disperse Ecosystem Define how internally built systems and third-party tools integrate into a seamless experience Drive strategy across multiple interfaces (Slack, IDEs, CLI, browser-based environments) and the connector strategy across what we build, wrap, or absorb from emerging ecosystems Drive consolidation of fragmented infrastructure (code hosting, dev environments) where it unblocks the agentic future Partner with engineering to scale internal systems and enable persistent, conversational agent workflows Own the product strategy for secure agentic sandboxed compute Enable Autonomous Systems Help design systems where agents move beyond assistance into action Push toward a future where agentic systems are embedded across the SDLC and operational stack Shape how planning gates and approval workflows evolve as agents take more sensitive actions Act as a Force Multiplier for Engineering Leadership Translate technical direction into clear product narratives and priorities Align multiple teams and workstreams, cutting through duplication and organizational friction Communicate effectively with both senior leaders and deeply technical individual contributors Partner across Tech, Investment Engineering, Security, Compliance, and Infrastructure to drive aligned execution Make High-Leverage Decisions Identify where to build vs. partner vs. buy Evaluate emerging tools and vendors in a rapidly changing ecosystem Ensure security and platform integrity are first-class considerations — including entitlement boundaries, data classification, and write-path controls Required Qualifications 8+ years of experience in a rigorous technical environment, with the majority of that time in a Product Management role Experience working in a variety of team sizes and maturity. A big advantage to have worked in large well-established teams, in addition to small, more ambiguous teams. Strong product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to translate technical complexity into clear direction Proven ability to set and drive multi-year product strategy in ambiguous, fast-moving domains Strong technical fluency in developer ecosystems and AI-native tools (e.g., SDLC, Claude Code, Cursor, MCP, agentic systems) Experience building platform or ecosystem products that serve diverse user populations, including integrating third-party tools and making build vs. buy decisions Experience navigating data classification, security boundaries, and write-path controls in product design Comfort with organizational change — including retiring legacy systems and driving consolidation across teams Track record of partnering with senior stakeholders and aligning teams across complex organizations Location Requirements The anticipated onsite requirement for this role is four days per week in office.

Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know what's true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better. Valuing truth means being transparent about your decision-making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self-interest. Operating this way is hard – it's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself. The culture, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving. In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on Meritocracy. Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge. When we get it right, it’s the engine that powers everything else. Bridgewater Associates, LP is an Equal Opportunity Employer
