Responsibilities
You’ll lead Product Research, the team between our researchers and the market. You’ll take raw signal from evals, leaderboards, customers and usage data, turn it into a clear measure of where our models stand, and decide which gaps matter most.
- Evaluations. Own the product-facing eval taxonomy, eval strategy, and eval runs.
- Priorities. Maintain a ranked list of what our models should get better at, built from evals, leaderboards, customer feedback and usage data, and make sure it shapes every…
- Applied post-training. Set the priorities for the squad's Applied Researchers, who finetune and run RL to improve our core models and to build variants for specific customers and…
- Data. Define the data we need to measure and improve our models.
- Model releases. Co-lead new model releases. You own the quality go/no-go and the capability claims.
What they're looking for
- PM experience (product or research) working directly on generative models. You've shaped the model itself rather than building features on top of it.
- Real technical depth. You can read an eval design and spot what's wrong with it, and you understand finetuning and RL well enough to scope and challenge the work.
- Strong judgment on trade-offs made with incomplete signal, and the drive to own prioritization end to end.
- Comfort in an ambiguous, fast-changing research environment, where the right priority shifts as the model and harness evolve.
