About The Position

AfterQuery builds the data and evaluation systems that power frontier AI models. Every leading AI lab uses our datasets and reinforcement learning environments to encode and scale real-world expertise. As a Product Manager, you’ll work across Engineering, Operations, and Research to identify the most important problems in the business and turn them into scalable products and systems. You’ll own problems end-to-end — understanding user needs, deciding what should be built, working closely with engineers through execution, and making sure what we ship actually solves the underlying problem.

Excellent communication skills and ability to work across technical and operational teams
