Principal Product Manager II, AI/Vectors leads the strategy and roadmap for Elastic's embedding, reranking, and vector database capabilities. This role involves managing the product vision from low-level indexing internals to developer-facing APIs and SDKs while collaborating with engineering and research teams to navigate trade-offs in retrieval quality.
