Staff Product Manager, AI Applications

• At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.
• Own the roadmap and its decisions — what ships, in what order, with which tradeoffs — from the applications we have today to the ones we have not built yet.
• Build the business: acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization, with the metrics, the targets, and a weekly read of whether the product is working and the business is becoming profitable.
• Represent the product with partners and customers, and own what we commit to deliver and when.
• Run the team’s operating rhythm — a hypothesis, a shipped change, an honest measurement, the next bet — with real usage by real people as the bar, starting with Deepgram’s own employees as the first users.
• Partner daily with research on the models, with engineering and design on the build, and with marketing on the launch; bring the user’s voice into every decision.
• Prototype. Mockups, wireframes, and working prototypes are how you communicate; using the product every day is how you know it.
• Want to define a product line rather than inherit one, and have done the zero-to-one work before, so you know what it costs.
• Believe that voice changes what software can do for a person, and have built toward that belief.
• Keep a direction under executive attention and strong opinions, and bring people along with evidence rather than volume.
• Build things yourself — a prototype, your own analysis, the fix — and never stop.
• Are genuinely AI-native: you work with these tools all day, you know where they help and where they mislead, and you turn them on your own problems.
• Excellent product management judgment. You own product and roadmap, set direction, decide under uncertainty, ship outcomes, and lead cross-functional work without authority. You can show the results.
• A shipped product that people paid for. This is required. You have built and shipped a consumer or prosumer application that people chose and paid for, and you owned its funnel and its business as well as its features.
• Zero-to-one product definition. You have taken a product from an idea to a first version real users adopted — the strategy, the positioning, the first release — and you can show what happened next.
• Technical depth. You reason with engineering about models, latency, privacy, and platform tradeoffs; you read code; you prototype.
• Design sense. You build simple, effective interfaces and communicate ideas through mockups and prototypes, grounded in user research and testing.
• The judgment to distrust a number before you build on it. You ask whether a metric is real or an artifact of how it was measured, as a reflex.
• Clear communication with executives. You lead with the decision, keep your method in reserve, and stay steady under pushback without either caving or digging in.
• Experience building native desktop or mobile applications (Windows, macOS, iOS).
• Experience shipping a product through distribution partners, on someone else’s platform and calendar.
• Experience with voice, audio, or real-time systems.
• Time in a company with both a self-serve and an enterprise motion.
