TL;DR · Engineering Product Manager

The Engineering Product Manager joins the AI Software & Platform Group to lead the strategy, architecture, and organizational adoption of an end-to-end evaluation platform. This role involves defining the product vision and roadmap for unified offline benchmarking suites, automated LLM judges, and continuous production evaluation systems. Key responsibilities include converting quality standards into repeatable test suites, establishing release gating, and connecting offline evaluations with live telemetry and product analytics. The successful candidate will utilize skills in statistical evaluation methodologies, human-in-the-loop annotation workflows, and experience with tools like DeepEval, Ragas, LangSmith, and TruLens. The work focuses on solving technical challenges related to factual accuracy, hallucination mitigation, and safety policies for Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines, and autonomous multi-agent systems within an enterprise infrastructure context.

What you'll do

  • Architect the product vision, staged roadmap, and platform architecture for Cisco's unified offline benchmarking suites.
  • Convert quality standards into objective, repeatable test suites and structured human-in-the-loop review pipelines.
  • Establish pre-deployment quality bars, risk-based release criteria, and automated regression-detection loops.
  • Connect offline model evaluations with live telemetry, product analytics, and real-time user feedback loops.
  • Drive organization-wide adoption of standardized evaluation frameworks across research, engineering, and product teams.
  • Diagnose failure patterns in production traces to determine techniques for improving autonomous agent performance.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field with 12+ years of product management experience.
  • Master's degree with 8+ years of product management experience.
  • PhD with 5+ years of product management experience.
  • Prior experience leading product management for AI/ML platforms, model evaluation frameworks, LLM infrastructure, or data-intensive software products.
  • Applied background designing and operationalizing offline benchmarking systems, automated evaluation judges, or real-time production quality monitoring pipelines.
  • Previous experience defining risk-based launch criteria, release-gating frameworks, and regression mitigation workflows for software or AI systems.
  • Proven experience driving multi-team platform adoption across matrixed engineering and product organizations.
  • Direct experience evaluating Generative AI, RAG pipelines, and autonomous multi-agent systems (preferred).
