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.
