The Principal Product Manager joins the team building the runtime and control plane for agents across Adobe CX Enterprise. This role involves owning the core platform, including the agent loop, tool protocols like MCP and A2A, skills, knowledge grounding, and enterprise trust and safety guarantees. You will define how agents are evaluated and improved in production while driving the developer surface for practitioners and partners. Key responsibilities include managing architectural calls on platform components, defining contracts, and partnering with Applied Science and ML Engineering on quality benchmarks.

What you'll do

  • Own the runtime agentic core loop, tool protocols, knowledge grounding, and enterprise trust and safety guarantees.
  • Design the production evaluation, override, and feedback loop systems to improve agent performance.
  • Drive the developer surface including documentation, CLI tools, and local/production parity for agent developers.
  • Make architectural decisions on building versus adopting open-source components for the control plane.
  • Partner with Applied Science and ML Engineering to establish quality benchmarks that predict customer outcomes.
  • Translate complex research and engineering requirements into precise specifications for design and GTM teams.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in product management with depth in AI platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure products.
  • Experience shipping platform contracts for AI products rather than just application-level features.
  • Fluency in MCP, skills, harness patterns, agent loops, tool use, context engineering, and evaluation.
  • Experience using agentic dev environments like Claude Code or Cursor to form informed opinions on their functionality.
  • Ability to think in contracts and interfaces, including ABI stability and precise marketplace/tool terminology.
  • Ability to provide technical reasoning to engineering leads and communicate effectively with design and field teams.
  • Ability to write concise, audience-calibrated documentation ranging from executive memos to engineering specs.
  • CS or engineering background (preferred); hands-on coding ability is a plus.
