Staff Product Manager, Agentic Experiences (Former Engineer)

Deepgram • Remote, CA

8d • $200,000 - $268,000

About The Position

Deepgram is seeking a Staff Product Manager to own the product experience for AI coding agents interacting with Deepgram's platform. This role involves managing the entire lifecycle of an agent's engagement, from discovery and integration to production use and verification. The ideal candidate is a former engineer with a deep understanding of AI and a proven ability to build and ship AI-powered software. This is a product management role where you will own the product direction and decisions, working closely with engineering to bring your vision to life. You will be responsible for creating a system that continuously optimizes the agent experience as agent behavior evolves. This role reports to the VP of Self-Serve.

Requirements

• Excellent product management judgment. You own product and roadmap, set direction, decide under uncertainty, ship outcomes, and lead cross-functional work without authority. You can show the results.
• A former engineer's depth (required). You were a senior software engineer, or more, before you moved to product. You architect and ship production systems, you read and write real code, and you reason with engineering at their level. You are not a vibe coder who assembles what a tool generates.
• Deep AI fluency, proven by shipped work (required). You have personally built and shipped AI software that goes well beyond prompt files and markdown — agents, MCP servers, CLI tools, agent and evaluation harnesses, real model-integrated tools — and it is public. Send us the GitHub; we will read the code, the commits, and the design.
• Proven ability to stand up a complete system from scratch — the rhythms of business, the reporting and optimization, the experimentation platform — yourself or in-house, or by researching and deploying the right tools.
• PLG and developer-product fluency. You understand how developers, and increasingly their agents, adopt APIs, and you understand product-led growth.
• The judgment to distrust a number or a passing test before you build on it. You ask whether it is real, as a reflex.
• Clear communication with executives: you lead with the decision, keep your method in reserve, and hold up under pushback without either caving or digging in.

Nice To Haves

• Built specifically for AI agents as the consumer — MCP servers, agent harnesses, CLI tools, agent-readable docs, tool definitions, or evals for agent output.
• Experience with voice, audio, or real-time streaming systems.
• A track record of open-source work with real adoption.
• Time in a company with both a self-serve and an enterprise motion.

Responsibilities

• Own the agent's experience of Deepgram across its lifecycle — discovery and recommendation, integration and onboarding, production use, and verification.
• Stand up a system that measures and optimizes every stage of the funnel for agents, and keep it current as agent behavior changes.
• Own the product surfaces specific to the agent experience: signup and authentication, the trial-key and token defaults and programmatic key provisioning, console onboarding, and the verification tooling that lets an agent confirm its integration is actually correct.
• Set the requirements for what the agent experience needs from the shared developer platforms — SDK ergonomics, the agent-readable documentation and llms.txt, the MCP server, the CLI, the skills package, and starter templates — and prototype the changes directly, in partnership with the team that owns those platforms.
• Stand up the operating system your work runs on — the rhythms of business, data-driven optimization, and the experimentation platform — by building it in-house or by researching and deploying the best tools available.
• Turn the scale of agent traffic into fast feedback loops, so the product improves as agents use it.
• Bring the product's point of view on agents as users: what they need, where they fail, and what to change, grounded in how models actually retrieve, choose, and integrate.
