About this role
Turning frontier artificial intelligence capabilities into coherent, usable products requires bridging raw technical primitives with everyday human workflows. Perplexity seeks a product manager to help scale Computer, an agentic AI system designed to transform knowledge into action across millions of daily queries.
Operating within the AI Capabilities team, this person will own product structures that convert intelligence into repeatable experiences, spanning agent skills, human-agent collaboration, artifact generation, and project organization. Success in this position demands strong product judgment, deep analytical rigor, and the ability to steer nondeterministic models alongside engineering, design, and research partners.
Candidates who thrive here possess a strong background in building AI-native productivity or developer platforms, paired with the initiative to drive complex product decisions through uncertainty. This San Francisco-based role offers the chance to define how individuals and teams customize and build repeatable workflows in a new technological era.
What you will do
- Identify high-leverage user and platform problems to establish a clear long-term vision for skills, collaboration, artifacts, and projects.
- Collaborate directly with engineering, design, data science, and research to deliver powerful, extensible, and dependable user experiences.
- Evaluate and steer nondeterministic models, tools, and agents toward high-value outcomes for users.
- Design clear interaction models, permissions, and feedback mechanisms that make complex AI behavior understandable and controllable.
- Drive cross-functional alignment across multiple teams and product surfaces such as Computer, Search, and connectors.
- Analyze drivers for capability discovery, adoption, reuse, sharing, and ecosystem growth.
What you need
- Bring four or more years of product management experience and leadership.
- Demonstrate a strong background working with data and metrics.
