Deepgram - Staff Product Manager, AI Applications
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 shipped product that people paid for. This is required. You have built and shipped a consumer or prosumer application that people chose and paid for, and you owned its funnel and its business as well as its features. • Zero-to-one product definition. You have taken a product from an idea to a first version real users adopted — the strategy, the positioning, the first release — and you can show what happened next. • Deep AI fluency, proven by shipped work. This is required. You have personally built and shipped AI into end-user applications and have strong, specific opinions about where models help, where they fail, and how to verify what they produce. • Technical depth. You reason with engineering about models, latency, privacy, and platform tradeoffs; you read code; you prototype. • Design sense. You build simple, effective interfaces and communicate ideas through mockups and prototypes, grounded in user research and testing. • The judgment to distrust a number before you build on it. You ask whether a metric is real or an artifact of how it was measured, as a reflex. • Clear communication with executives. You lead with the decision, keep your method in reserve, and stay steady under pushback without either caving or digging in. • IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAD • Experience building native desktop or mobile applications (Windows, macOS, iOS). • Experience shipping a product through distribution partners, on someone else’s platform and calendar. • Experience with voice, audio, or real-time systems. • Time in a company with both a self-serve and an enterprise motion. • Notice: We're aware of individuals impersonating Deepgram recruiters.

Responsibilities
• Own the strategy for Deepgram’s AI applications: decide which products the line consists of, who they are for, and why they win; write it down; defend it to executives; and keep the direction stable while the team builds. • Own the roadmap and its decisions — what ships, in what order, with which tradeoffs — from the applications we have today to the ones we have not built yet. • Build the business: acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization, with the metrics, the targets, and a weekly read of whether the product is working and the business is becoming profitable. • Represent the product with partners and customers, and own what we commit to deliver and when. • Run the team’s operating rhythm — a hypothesis, a shipped change, an honest measurement, the next bet — with real usage by real people as the bar, starting with Deepgram’s own employees as the first users. • Partner daily with research on the models, with engineering and design on the build, and with marketing on the launch; bring the user’s voice into every decision. • Prototype. Mockups, wireframes, and working prototypes are how you communicate; using the product every day is how you know it. • YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE IF YOU • Want to define a product line rather than inherit one, and have done the zero-to-one work before, so you know what it costs. • Believe that voice changes what software can do for a person, and have built toward that belief. • Keep a direction under executive attention and strong opinions, and bring people along with evidence rather than volume. • Build things yourself — a prototype, your own analysis, the fix — and never stop. • Are genuinely AI-native: you work with these tools all day, you know where they help and where they mislead, and you turn them on your own problems.
