Senior Product Manager (Coding, Handshake AI)

Join Handshake AI, a leading company in expert-labeled data collection for AI training. As a Senior Product Manager, you will own the roadmap for coding as a data modality, navigating ambiguity and defining what to build and for whom. You will work closely with a cross-functional team and customer-facing teams to turn early signals into a repeatable offering. This role requires a strong background in software development, experience in a small startup environment, and comfort with ambiguity.

• Définir la feuille de route et la portée du produit pour le codage en tant que modalité de données humaines, en prenant des décisions éclairées sur ce que nous construisons en premier.
• Collaborer avec une équipe interfonctionnelle pour transformer les signaux précoces en une offre répétable, en pilotant le développement du produit de la découverte à la mise en œuvre.
• Établir des relations avec les laboratoires d'IA et les parties prenantes internes pour comprendre comment ils utilisent les données de codage et où notre offre actuelle est insuffisante.
• Software development experience. You must have worked as a software developer at a tech company. FAANG or equivalent is strongly preferred. The standards and practices that matter for this data type are often discussed in terms of what those companies do; you need to speak that language and assess what "good" looks like
• Small startup experience. You must have operated on a small, early-stage team in a context where you were discovering customer problems, not just executing a known playbook. You're comfortable with ambiguity, shifting scope, and defining the problem as much as solving it
• Systems thinker. You see how the coding modality connects to platform, operations, fellow training, and quality. You spot dependencies and edge cases and factor them into roadmap decisions
• 5+ years in product, including time as a PM partnering with engineering to ship. Experience in a frontier or emerging domain (new data type, new customer segment, 0→1) is a strong plus
• Technical credibility. You can read and reason about code, review technical specs, and have informed opinions about code quality, review practices, and developer workflows. You don't need to code day-to-day, but you've done it professionally
• Comfort with ambiguity. You've worked in environments where the problem wasn't fully defined. You're good at narrowing scope, saying no, and turning messy feedback into a clear direction
• Customer- and data-informed. You use discovery and data to prioritize, but you also make decisions when the signal is incomplete. You're action-oriented
• Prior role owning a frontier or net-new product area (0→1, new modality, or new segment)
• Experience at a human data company, AI lab, or devtools company
• Familiarity with AI/ML training data, annotation workflows, or code evaluation benchmarks
