The Principal Product Manager will set the technical and product direction for the Copilot Offline Evaluation Platform. This role involves owning the end-to-end strategy for how evaluation datasets are generated, how realistic test environments are built, and how evaluations run at scale to inform ship decisions. You will define the strategic roadmap, prioritize platform features, and drive the execution of complex projects while mentoring PMs and engineers. Key responsibilities include defining technical requirements for infrastructure, algorithms, and data pipelines. The role requires expertise in AI/ML evaluation, including metric design, model-based judging, dataset curation, synthetic data, and responsible AI practices.
