Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work.

This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.\nThe Role\nDeepgram builds the voice AI models that power other companies’ products. We are also building our own line of AI applications - products that put our voice AI directly in the hands of the people who use them, knowledge workers and consumers alike - and those applications are a new revenue stream for the company. We are hiring a Staff Product Manager to define that line and to build it into a profitable business.\nThis is a product management role in the conventional sense: you own the product, its direction, and its decisions, and engineering builds it. What sets the role apart is the moment. The team, the models, and the first applications are in place. The strategy for the line - which products we build, for whom, and how they make money - is yours to set, to defend with evidence, and to keep steady while the company’s attention on it stays high. You report to the VP of Self-Serve.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn the strategy for Deepgram’s AI applications: decide which products the line consists of, who they are for, and why they win; write it down; defend it to executives; and keep the direction stable while the team builds.\n\nOwn the roadmap and its decisions - what ships, in what order, with which tradeoffs - from the applications we have today to the ones we have not built yet.\n\nBuild the business: acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization, with the metrics, the targets, and a weekly read of whether the product is working and the business is becoming profitable.\n\nRepresent the product with partners and customers, and own what we commit to deliver and when.\n\nRun the team’s operating rhythm - a hypothesis, a shipped change, an honest measurement, the next bet - with real usage by real people as the bar, starting with Deepgram’s own employees as the first users.\n\nPartner daily with research on the models, with engineering and design on the build, and with marketing on the launch; bring the user’s voice into every decision.\n\nPrototype. Mockups, wireframes, and working prototypes are how you communicate; using the product every day is how you know it.\n\nYou’ll Love This Role If You\nWant to define a product line rather than inherit one, and have done the zero-to-one work before, so you know what it costs.\n\nBelieve that voice changes what software can do for a person, and have built toward that belief.\n\nKeep a direction under executive attention and strong opinions, and bring people along with evidence rather than volume.\n\nBuild things yourself - a prototype, your own analysis, the fix - and never stop.\n\nAre genuinely AI-native: you work with these tools all day, you know where they help and where they mislead, and you turn them on your own problems.\n\nIt’s Important to Us That You Have\nExcellent product management judgment. You own product and roadmap, set direction, decide under uncertainty, ship outcomes, and lead cross-functional work without authority. You can show the results.\n\nA shipped product that people paid for. This is required. You have built and shipped a consumer or prosumer application that people chose and paid for, and you owned its funnel and its business as well as its features.\n\nZero-to-one product definition. You have taken a product from an idea to a first version real users adopted - the strategy, the positioning, the first release - and you can show what happened next.\n\nDeep AI fluency, proven by shipped work. This is required. You have personally built and shipped AI into end-user applications and have strong, specific opinions about where models help, where they fail, and how to verify what they produce.\n\nTechnical depth. You reason with engineering about models, latency, privacy, and platform tradeoffs; you read code; you prototype.\n\nDesign sense. You build simple, effective interfaces and communicate ideas through mockups and prototypes, grounded in user research and testing.\n\nThe judgment to distrust a number before you build on it. You ask whether a metric is real or an artifact of how it was measured, as a reflex.\n\nClear communication with executives. You lead with the decision, keep your method in reserve, and stay steady under pushback without either caving or digging in.\n\nIt Would Be Great If You Had\nExperience building native desktop or mobile applications (Windows, macOS, iOS).\n\nExperience shipping a product through distribution partners, on someone else’s platform and calendar.\n\nExperience with voice, audio, or real-time systems.\n\nTime in a company with both a self-serve and an enterprise motion.\n\nNotice: We're aware of individuals impersonating Deepgram recruiters.
