Director, Product Management - Enterprise Platform - Us (Remote)

At Weights & Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models. Starting with our first experiment tracking product, we have since expanded our solution into a comprehensive AI developer platform for organizations focused on building their own deep learning models and generative AI applications.
Weights & Biases is a Series C company with $250M in funding and over 200 employees. We proudly serve over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.
We are seeking an experienced Director of Product Management to lead the development of our platform infrastructure, identity management, and enterprise-focused platform. In this role, you will own the product vision and strategy for our platform offerings across multi-tenant, single-tenant, and on-premises customer-managed deployments.
Reporting to the Vice President of Product, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and deliver secure, scalable, and innovative solutions that meet the demands of enterprise clients. Your ability to navigate complex product ecosystems and align technical initiatives with business objectives will be critical in shaping our platform's future and driving customer success.
You will partner closely with the Engineering and Go-To-Market Teams to improve the enterprise customer experience. You will explore complex and exciting technical problems across our stack from the Python client to the web app across different deployment offerings. You will have the opportunity to work on products across the ML lifecycle, including experiment tracking, dataset management, and model optimization.
If you have a passion for solving challenges at the intersection of infrastructure and enterprise needs, and a proven track record in delivering impactful solutions across diverse architectures, we'd love to hear from you!
