Job Responsibility

  • Create ambitious RL environments to push our models to their limits
  • Work on measuring frontier model capabilities, skills, and behaviors
  • Develop new methodologies for automatically exploring the behavior of these models
  • Help steer training for our largest training runs, and see the future first
  • Design scalable systems and processes to support continuous evaluation
  • Build self-improvement loops to automate model understanding

Requirements

  • Passionate and knowledgeable about AGI/ASI measurement
  • Strong engineering and statistical analysis skills
  • Able to think outside the box and have a robust “red-teaming mindset”
  • Experienced in ML research engineering, stochastic systems, observability and monitoring, LLM-enabled applications, and/or another technical domain applicable to AI evaluations
  • Able to operate effectively in a dynamic and extremely fast-paced research environment as well as scope and deliver projects end-to-end

Nice to have

  • First-hand experience in red-teaming systems—be it computer systems or otherwise
  • An ability to work cross-functionally
  • Excellent communication skills

What we offer

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts
  • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)

  • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks)
  • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees
  • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law)
  • Mental health and wellness support
  • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage
  • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth

Requirements
Requirements
  • Staff or Principal-level product management experience (L5/L6 seniority or above) with a track record of building enterprise products in high-ambiguity environments
  • You’ve built successful enterprise AI applications — especially agentic products with strong real-world adoption, not just traditional SaaS
  • You possess functional AI/ML fluency — not just academic. You can reason about model capabilities, evals, latency/cost tradeoffs, fine-tuning vs. prompting vs. tool use, and the shape of a frontier roadmap. You are technical enough to prototype a solution on a whiteboard with a customer’s ML team and credible enough that a research lead actually wants you in the room
  • You operate effectively across complex cross-functional environments involving product, engineering, research, go-to-market, and customer-facing teams
  • You have a general manager mindset with P&L visibility and experience — you think in terms of business tradeoffs, commercial viability, and revenue outcomes, not just product metrics
  • You thrive in significant ambiguity with extremely high agency and a strong self-starter mentality — this is the highest-priority trait for this role
  • You bring consultative PM skills and the ability to play an advisory role with enterprise customers, asking clarifying questions about needs and commercial viability rather than immediately saying yes to requests
  • You have a mix of large-company and earlier-stage startup experience, and can work in extremely unstructured environments with limited scaffolding
  • You can partner with and influence research teams in product development environments, helping ensure frontier model capabilities are shaped by market needs
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Define product opportunities across enterprise segments by identifying customer profiles, workflows, jobs-to-be-done, and unmet needs in marketing, advertising, and entertainment
  • Translate Luma’s capabilities across models, Canvas, Agents and APIs into clear product definitions that serve real commercial customers and generate revenue
  • Drive cross-functional execution across research, product, engineering, go-to-market, and forward-deployed teams within a pod-based team structure
  • Partner directly with enterprise customers to understand requirements, validate opportunities, and shape product direction — showing up in customer meetings to represent research, product strategy, and vision
  • Play a consultative product role that connects customer feedback to product strategy and roadmap decisions, complementing forward-deployed engineers and creatives rather than duplicating their work
  • Bridge market signals back to research and product development teams, establishing feedback loops so that model prioritization and evaluation are informed by real commercial needs
  • Build agentic products — not just traditional SaaS — that serve clear enterprise needs and can generate revenue immediately while scaling to serve broader demand
  • Operate with a GM-style mindset, making product choices that align with revenue goals, commercial viability, and practical business outcomes
