Senior Product Manager, Applied AI

Engine is the AI-native platform for intelligent travel. You'll build the automation that powers how Engine runs behind the scenes. This is internal tooling, not a consumer-facing product. The goal is to make teams across the business dramatically faster and more scalable. As an embedded Product Manager on the Applied AI team, you'll sit inside one of Engine's business functions and find the manual steps that slow the work down and get them automated.

Responsibilities

Map the work: shadow the people doing the work and map each step, handoff and wait; Pick the workload: take on one workload at a time, starting with the steps that are repetitive, high-volume and most time-consuming, and decide with the functional leader what goes next; Lock the metric: get the functional leader to sign off on a cycle time or unit metric before building and measure the baseline; Build and ship: work with engineering to design and ship automation that replaces manual work at Engine's scale, using AI tools and agents to speed up analysis, prototyping and documentation; Scope and roll out: define the first version to ship, who uses it first and how it reaches the rest of the function; Hand it off: define how the function runs the workload without the PM, with a named owner inside the function; Make the kill call: if the metric doesn't move, come back with a fix or a decision to stop, with a deadline

4+ years in product management, ideally on internal tools, operations or workflow products; At least one AI or automation product in production; Has mapped a messy business process, found the steps that cost the most time and removed them; Comfortable spending first weeks shadowing support agents or accountants and judging success by whether the work got faster; Can baseline a cycle time, define a metric a business leader will sign off on, and account for costs including model spend and engineering time; Understands what LLMs and agents do well, where they fail, and how evals and human review fit into a workflow; Earns trust with leaders who don't report to them and holds the line on scope
