Strong technical background - CS/EE degree, production engineering experience, or equivalent depth earned on the job.

Excellent written communication.

A willingness to work directly with engineering teams by reading code+specifications, testing integrations directly and building prototypes with AI tools

Preferred: Early startup or founding experience + technical PM experience

### Key responsibilities

Own the roadmap, strategy, and success metrics for product extensions of the core Exa API platform

Work directly with AI-native startups and enterprises that integrate the Exa tool. Watch them work, unblock them, and convert pain into productized capability

Define metrics and success criteria to guide prioritization and measure impact across quality, coverage, cost, and speed.

Partner with product marketing, sales, and the field to launch platform capabilities that land, like pricing and packaging, docs, cookbooks, and enablement.
