• Drive the Delivery Roadmap: Partner with the Product Manager and Engineering Manager to convert vision and market strategy into sequenced, executable workstreams - then drive the engineering team to ship working code against quarterly commits. You own the delivery plan and cross-team coordination, not the headcount.
• Manage Dependencies and Unblock: Own the critical path across product, engineering, and the commercial team. Surface risk early, manage cross-team dependencies, and remove blockers before they slip a quarter.
• Own Tier-4 Triage: Serve as the technical escalation endpoint for support and engineering issues that hit platform limitations - determining whether a problem is a bug, a configuration gap, or a feature request that belongs on the roadmap, and routing it accordingly. You own the triage and the routing decision, not necessarily the fix.
• Enable CSM and Solutions Teams: Translate AI CTRL platform capabilities into clear, accurate terms for Client Success Managers and Solution Architects - so the commercial team can set the right client expectations and close the right deals.
• Lead Internal POCs: Drive proof-of-concept work with the engineering team to validate new capabilities and de-risk future features before they enter the roadmap., + Fundamental engineering concepts for agentic workflows and LLM systems - understands how AI agents are architected, orchestrated, and debugged
• LLM platform fluency - model routing and gateways, evaluation/eval frameworks, prompt and context engineering, RAG and vector stores, and the cost/token economics of running models at scale (AI CTRL is an LLM control and routing layer - this is the core domain)
• Application development literacy - can read code, review designs, and assess feasibility well enough to be credible in architecture discussions and to triage escalations accurately
• AI integration into enterprise systems - experience connecting AI capabilities to real business data and workflows (identity, SaaS platforms, APIs)
• Data connectors and data pipelines - understands how data flows from source systems into AI-ready formats
• LLM observability - reads telemetry, spend, latency, and quality metrics to diagnose issues and surface insights, not just generic application logs
• Data governance and compliance awareness - understands the privacy, access-control, and governance constraints of running an enterprise AI gateway
• Key Attributes:
• Platform-agnostic: Evaluates component and vendor choices by fit, not comfort - comfortable comparing approaches across both technical and business dimensions.
• Deeply curious: Spends the first 90 days learning the service offering, the technology stack, and how they connect to market drivers - without being told to.
• Translator: Can walk a CSM through what the vector store does and why it matters for a client use case, then turn around and write the requirements doc for the engineering team.
• Drives to ship: Treats a roadmap commitment as a commitment. Drives the team to deliver working code each quarter, not slide decks about future quarters.
• Leads through influence: Makes delivery happen across teams without org authority - through clear plans, hard prioritization, and trust earned by being technically credible., What state do you live in?
