Product Manager - Developer Workflows

At Tecton, we solve the complex data problems in production machine learning. Tecton’s feature platform makes it simple to activate data for smarter models and predictions, abstracting away the complex engineering to speed up innovation.
Tecton’s founders developed the first Feature Store when they created Uber’s Michelangelo ML platform, and we’re now bringing those same capabilities to every organization in the world.
Tecton is funded by Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Kleiner Perkins, along with strategic investments from Snowflake and Databricks. We have a fast-growing team that’s distributed around the world, with offices in San Francisco and New York City. Our team has years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at leading tech companies like Uber, Google, Meta, Airbnb, Lyft, and Twitter.
Drive excellence and product fit for Tecton’s primary user personas, the ML Engineer and the Data Scientist. Perform research with Tecton users and the broader market to understand and support these personas. Through both dedicated engineering resources and cross-team collaboration, build and refine the product workflows for exploring, developing, testing, and productionizing features across Tecton’s framework, CLI, SDK, API surface and GUI. Champion the Data Scientist and MLE personas at Tecton. Work with Product Marketing and DevRel to describe, promote, and evangelize Tecton as an ideal solution for feature engineering.
