The D. E. Shaw group seeks a product manager to join its Generative AI Tech Services team. This team develops and operates a wide-ranging suite of generative-AI products and infrastructure, serving as a centralized platform to drive innovation and efficiency across the firm. This role owns the firm's user-facing generative-AI products and is centered on deeply understanding users and connecting their asks to product changes (including technical implementation), offering a broad view of the firm's generative-AI practice and the opportunity to shape how the firm adopts these tools.

What you’ll do day-to-day

• Own the product direction and delivery for the firm's flagship user-facing AI agent and chat experiences, expanding to other end-user generative-AI products over time.

• Spend time understanding both technical and non-technical users and identifying new ways AI products can support or transform their workflows.

• Partner with the firm's Learning & Development and generative-AI business teams to increase adoption, experimentation, and AI skill development across the firm.

• Systematically prioritize product work across the Generative AI Tech Services team and in collaboration with key infrastructure teams and partners.

• Work with senior engineering counterparts to ensure stable and performant products.

What we’re looking for

• Five to ten years of product-management experience, ideally building AI/ML or generative-AI products, developer tools, or enterprise software.

• A bachelor’s degree or higher; a degree in computer science or a related technical discipline is preferred but not required.

• A technologist mindset and sufficient technical depth to understand the product and ecosystem, and read and understand code and how components fit together; some coding experience is beneficial.

• An evangelist mindset, and the ability to lead by example to encourage learning and adoption of AI solutions across the firm.

• Keen prioritization and business cost/benefit analysis skills; a data-driven approach to evaluating product success, with the flexibility to change direction as the industry continues to evolve.

• Excellent user-interviewing skills, with a deep interest in partnering closely with users to understand problems and transform workflows.

• The expected annual base salary for this position is $230,000 to $300,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
