At a glance

We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the Avathon platform: the layers every one of our applications is built on.
That includes data ingestion and connectors for IT and OT systems, the ontology and Computational Knowledge Graph, the Model Hub for ML and LLM models, and the agentic AI layer.
This is a product management role in Product Engineering, not a customer delivery role.

Own the vision, roadmap and priorities for ingestion and connectors, ontology and knowledge graph, Model Hub and the agent layer
Know the market. Understand Palantir Foundry and AIP, C3 AI, Databricks, Cognite and the hyperscaler AI platforms, and be clear on where Avathon wins in industrial settings
Own connector prioritization across OT protocols (OPC-UA, DNP3, MQTT, historians) and IT systems (SAP, Oracle and others)
Define the platform contracts that Planning, Logistics, PLM, asset performance and vision applications build on
Treat application teams, forward deployed engineers and partners as platform customers and understand what slows them down
Work with customers on ontology discovery and on how their data should be modeled
Work with security and cloud operations on deployment models: SaaS, customer cloud, on-premise and air-gapped edge
Track platform adoption and value, such as time to first data, connector reuse and time to deploy a model
Write clear requirements and acceptance criteria for platform engineering and AI science
Run sprint planning and release reviews with the engineering lead

8+ years in product management, with at least 4 years owning a data, ML, developer or platform product
Deep understanding of data integration, data modeling and ontologies, and ML or LLM operations
Technical enough to go deep with platform engineers on APIs, data models and architecture
Strong written communication. You can explain a platform decision to an engineer and to a customer executive
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.

Experience at Palantir, C3 AI, Databricks, Snowflake, Cognite, or a hyperscaler AI or data platform team (Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft) is a strong plus
Exposure to industrial data (OT systems, historians, SCADA, ERP) is a strong plus
MS or MBA is a plus

This role is not remote.
Candidates must be based in the Bay Area, CA and are expected to report to our Pleasanton office 5 days a week.
