Sr. Product Manager – Agentic AI Applications At Kantiv, we’re building AI systems that don’t just respond—they reason, plan, and act. We’re looking for a hands‑on Product Manager who can dive into technical detail, sit shoulder‑to‑shoulder with developers and data scientists, and still keep an eye on the big picture. This is a role for someone entrepreneurial—comfortable with ambiguity, fast cycles, and the hustle it takes to turn bleeding‑edge AI into production systems that actually work. What You'll Do Drive Product Development • Translate cutting‑edge AI concepts (LLMs, RAG, agentic frameworks) into production‑ready workflows. • Sit with engineers and data scientists during debug sessions, design reviews, and brainstorming to drive clarity and unblock progress. • Sweat the details: from model evaluation metrics to API contracts, you’ll know enough to ensure product quality and performance. Own the Roadmap & Execution • Prioritize ruthlessly, balancing user value, technical feasibility, and time‑to‑market. • Define, scope, and ship features end‑to‑end in tight iterations. • Push features across the finish line—removing blockers, making fast trade‑offs, and hustling to deliver. Customer & Market Insight • Partner with Customer Success to understand how real users interact with our platform—and where they get stuck. • Translate messy customer workflows into elegant technical solutions. • Identify opportunities for Joist AI’s agentic tech to transform how work actually gets done. Leadership & Culture • Champion a “get it done” culture that values speed, rigor, and accountability. • Bridge technical and business teams with clear, no‑nonsense communication. • Help shape the DNA of our product org at a company where the AI frontier is our playground. What You Bring • 5+ years of product management or technical leadership in SaaS/AI/ML products. • Strong technical fluency—you understand LLMs, embeddings, RAG, and can engage in technical design sessions with engineers. • Demonstrated ability to debug, problem‑solve, and make informed decisions in ambiguous situations. • Entrepreneurial drive: you’re comfortable with imperfect information, quick pivots, and hustling to deliver value. • Relentless attention to detail and pride in shipping high‑quality, production‑ready systems. Bonus Points • Prior experience as a software engineer, data scientist, or in a highly technical role. • Exposure to agent frameworks, ML pipelines, or workflow automation. • Experience working in early‑stage startups where speed and ownership are everything. What We Offer • Competitive salary and equity. • Flexible PTO and remote work options. • A seat at the table in defining how autonomous AI gets built and shipped. • Access to top AI tools, research, and compute resources. • The chance to help shape a company where product, engineering, and AI innovation move as one team.
