Technical Product Manager

Fundamental Research Labs
Full-time
On-site
Menlo Park, California, United States

About the Role

We're looking for our first Product Manager who can think like a founder, prototype like an engineer, and ship like a product owner.

In this role, you’ll turn frontier AI into delightful, everyday consumer experiences—owning the loop from customer insight → prototype → launch → iterate. We care less about titles and more about builders who can own problems end-to-end.

Responsibilities

  • Shape agent experiences, partnering with research/engineering to turn capabilities (tool-use, planning, memory, multi-agent orchestration) into lovable user journeys

  • Run user research and translate insights into clear specs + flows

  • Prototype using Figma or Loveable—and when useful, contribute lightweight frontend code to unblock teams (TypeScript preferred)

  • Run A/B tests, iterate fast, and communicate learnings with crisp writing and artifacts

  • Help us maintain our high bar for UX, safety, privacy, and reliability

Qualifications

  • Engineering background (prior SWE or very strong technical PM) -- comfortable reading and writing code

  • Experience with consumer and user research and working with engineers to translate findings into the product

  • Experience or strong understanding of agentic systems (prompting, multi-agent collaboration, tools, retrieval, orchestration, evals, and guardrails)

  • Bias to action, comfort with ambiguity, excellent product judgment, and ability to move from 0-1 quickly

  • Strong communication, crisp writing, and the ability to align research, design, and engineering

What makes us interesting

  • Small, elite team of ex-founders, researchers from top AI Labs, top CS grads, and engineers from top companies

  • True ownership You will not be blocked by bureaucracy, shipping meaningful work within weeks rather than months

  • Serious momentum We're well-funded by top investors, moving fast, and focused on execution

What we do

  • Ship consumer products powered by cutting-edge AI research, and

  • Build infrastructure that facilitates research and product, and

  • Innovate cutting-edge research that will open up new consumer product forms

The Details

  • Full-time, onsite role in Menlo Park

  • Startup hours apply

  • Generous salary, with additional benefits to be discussed during the hiring process
