Senior Product Manager-AI Infrastructure & Agentic Systems Austin, Texas, United States

Senior Product Manager–AI Infrastructure & Agentic Systems Austin, Texas, United States "In 36 months, agentic AI systems will be an operating reality across major institutions. We intend to be central to it." — Dr. Jim Rebesco, Cofounder and CEO, Striveworks The government’s demand for AI is growing far faster than the systems required to support it. Fewer than 15% of federal AI programs have reached sustained production, despite billions of dollars invested. The models perform in testing, but they degrade in the real world. And when performance drops, trust goes with it. Striveworks was built to solve that problem. What you’ll build Since 2018, we have delivered the most trusted AI systems operating in real‑world use cases—providing a layer of assurance underneath hundreds of deployed models that monitors performance, manages drift, and sustains systems long after they leave the lab. As a Senior Product Manager–AI Infrastructure & Agentic at Striveworks, you will work closely with our software engineering, data science, and sales teams to define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap. You will also ensure that our platform meets the evolving needs of our customers. We are looking for Product Managers who enjoy building highly complex software products and operationalizing cutting‑edge AI technologies to deliver enterprise value. Your day‑to‑day will include: Defining, prioritizing, and scheduling requirements: Work directly with customers, engineers, and other stakeholders to write crisp, well‑structured requirements and maintain a clear product roadmap. Proactively identify and communicate risks to satisfying requirements. Clearing the pathway for successful execution: Participate in standups and planning and design sessions to ensure that engineering teams understand priorities and deadlines. Resolve issues that hinder developer progress. Take ownership for the execution team delivering on time. Validating and testing deliverables: Perform product acceptance testing to confirm that features meet requirements and customer expectations. Managing documentation and communication: Own the drafting and maintenance of technical documentation, release notes, and internal/external communications on new features. Supporting go‑to‑market: Partner with marketing to position new capabilities, craft product collateral, and support launch efforts. Staying ahead of the curve: Track customer feedback, market trends, competitive capabilities, and emerging technologies to inform the product roadmap and strategic decisions. What it’s like here We lead with trust, treat each other with respect, and use candor consistently, kindly, and constructively. We care deeply about our work, and we find genuine satisfaction in doing it well. Above all, we take ownership—because we feel the weight of collective results personally.
