About the role:
We are looking for a Technical Product Manager (Data/AI) to join our Generative AI & Search team, playing a critical role at the intersection of business, data science, and software engineering. You will own the strategy, execution, and adoption of GenAI-powered experiences, intelligent agents, and semantic search products used across global markets.
This role requires strong product leadership, **a solid technical background to guide and challenge the engineering and data teams**, and the ability to translate complex AI/Search architectures into tangible business value for commercial and customer stakeholders.
What you'll do:
Drive Strategic Alignment
- Partner with global commercial and product stakeholders across LATAM, US, and global markets to enable product understanding, drive adoption, and unlock new Generative AI and Search use cases.
- Act as a product evangelist—educating stakeholders on LLM/Search capabilities, trade-offs (latency, cost, accuracy/hallucinations), limitations, and product roadmap.
- Provide regular updates to internal stakeholders and leadership on product adoption, search relevance, agent performance, and business impact.
Plan & Prioritize
- Own quarterly product planning in close collaboration with AI/ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Software Engineers.
- Leverage your technical background to balance business value, model/prompt experimentation, search relevance tuning, and platform/infrastructure scalability when defining priorities.
- Continuously assess team capacity, technical debt, and delivery risk to ensure plans are realistic, achievable, and aligned with broader product and business strategy.
Execute & Deliver
- Partner closely with technical teams to execute the quarterly backlog and deliver high-impact GenAI and Search capabilities.
- Drive the end-to-end delivery of: Conversational AI & Agentic workflows, Semantic & Hybrid Search engines (RAG, vector search), Scalable and low-latency APIs, Evaluation frameworks (LLM-as-a-judge, offline/online evals), and observability dashboards.
- Define Epics, High-Level Requirements (HLRs), and technical specs, leading refinement sessions with a strong focus on: System architecture, User experience (UX), Search relevance & ranking, and LLM behavior, guardrails, and performance.
- Lead Agile ceremonies, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, acting as a technical sounding board for the squad.
- Track delivery and performance metrics, producing sprint summary reports with emphasis on: Team productivity, Search & AI quality metrics (e.g., NDCG, MRR, faithfulness, latency, token cost), and usage/adoption trends.
Engage Stakeholders
- Maintain strong relationships with technical, commercial, and senior leadership stakeholders.
- Present quarterly roadmaps, architectural trade-offs, and progress updates with clarity and confidence.
- Proactively manage expectations by negotiating scope, timelines, and technical trade-offs across internal teams and customers.
What you'll need:
- Strong technical background (e.g., degree or prior hands-on experience in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, or Systems Architecture) with the ability to constructively guide technical discussions and architecture decisions with engineers and scientists.
- Proven experience managing data, Search, or AI/ML-driven products, with a strong grasp of Generative AI concepts (LLMs, RAG, Prompt Engineering, Agents, Embeddings) and Information Retrieval / Search (Lexical vs. Vector/Semantic Search, ranking, indexing).
- Strong understanding of the AI/ML and Search lifecycle, including data pipelines, indexing, context retrieval, evaluation frameworks, deployment, monitoring, and continuous iteration.
- Ability to translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical product requirements and architectural specifications.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, capable of bridging business, software engineering, and data science audiences.
- Fluent English (and Advanced Spanish is a plus) to collaborate effectively with global teams.
- Willingness to work hybrid in São Paulo.
More about you:
- Solid background in Technical Product Management or Data Product Management, preferably building AI, GenAI, or Search platforms/products.
- Hands-on experience writing Epics, High-Level Requirements (HLRs), API contracts, and technical documentation—structured documentation is one of your strengths.
- Deep understanding of modern software architecture, including distributed systems, databases (relational, NoSQL, Vector DBs), REST/streaming APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
- Experience working in Agile environments leading highly cross-functional technical teams (Data Science, AI/ML Engineering, MLOps, Backend, Frontend).
