Job Description
Are you a technical product manager who obsesses over whether AI actually works — not just whether it looks impressive in a demo?
Tricentis is the industry's #1 Continuous Testing platform, and we are building the agentic AI capabilities that will define the next generation of intelligent test automation. We are looking for a Lead Product Manager – Agent Framework & Evals to own the technical foundation of how our AI agents reason, act, and are held accountable for their outputs.
This is not a role for someone who ships AI features and hopes for the best. You will own the systems that prove our agents are trustworthy — before they ever reach a customer.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Own the Agent Framework Roadmap: Define how AI agents within the Tricentis portfolio are structured — their tooling, reasoning patterns, memory architecture, and interaction models — ensuring a consistent and extensible foundation across product lines.
Build the Evaluation Infrastructure: Own the systems and processes that validate agent behavior before deployment, including ground truth datasets, automated evaluation pipelines, and quality gates.
Bridge AI Research and Product Reality: Translate emerging agentic capabilities into well-scoped, implementable product requirements that engineering teams can execute against with confidence.
Drive Execution: This is a hands-on Lead IC role. You will write detailed technical specs, groom backlogs with engineering, and be accountable for the quality bar of every agentic feature we ship.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the Agent Quality Bar: Define what "good" looks like for agentic behavior — establishing the success metrics (Task Success Rate, Goal Completion, Steps-to-Solution, Recovery Rate, Hallucination Rate) that the team builds toward, and holding stakeholders accountable to them before any capability ships to customers.
Prioritize Agent Capabilities: Maintain a clear, evidence-based prioritization of which agent capabilities to build and in what order — balancing customer impact, technical feasibility, and risk. Make the trade-offs explicit and get alignment across engineering, design, and leadership.
Own the Evaluation Strategy: Ensure the team has the processes, tooling, and resources in place to validate agent behavior rigorously before deployment. You own the outcome — that AI features are trustworthy when they reach customers — not the implementation of the pipelines themselves.
Represent the Customer in AI Design Decisions: Be the voice of the user when engineering teams make decisions about reasoning depth, latency, and failure modes. Translate customer expectations and risk tolerance into clear product requirements that guide technical trade-offs.
Drive Cross-Team Alignment: Ensure that agent framework decisions made by your team are understood and adopted consistently across other Tricentis product lines — acting as the connective tissue between a core platform capability and the teams building on top of it.
Communicate Progress and Risk: Keep leadership and cross-functional stakeholders informed on what is shipping, what is at risk, and what trade-offs have been made — with enough clarity that decisions can be made quickly at the right level.
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
Agentic Frameworks: Deep understanding of agent architectures including ReAct (Reason + Act), Chain-of-Thought (CoT), and tool-use patterns. You understand how agents decompose high-level goals into sub-tasks and where they fail.
LLM Evaluation: Ability to design evaluation frameworks that measure hallucination rate, reasoning accuracy, and task success — and operationalize them as automated pipelines integrated into the development process.
Prompt Engineering & Context Management: Understanding of how context windows, prompt structure, and retrieval affect model behavior — and how to design around their limitations.
Enterprise Security: Familiarity with RBAC, data minimization, and zero-trust principles as they apply to agentic systems operating on enterprise data.
APIs & System Design: Comfort discussing API contracts, tool schemas, and system architecture with engineering teams.
WHAT YOU NEED
Basic Qualifications (Must Haves)
5–8+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 2+ years in Technical Product Management or AI/Data products.
AI/ML Fluency: Demonstrated experience shipping AI-powered products, with hands-on exposure to LLMs, agentic systems, or intelligent automation.
Technical Background: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or equivalent technical work experience.
Evaluation Mindset: Proven ability to define quality metrics for AI systems and build processes that enforce them — not just measure them after the fact.
Enterprise Experience: Experience designing AI features for complex enterprise environments where reliability, auditability, and security are non-negotiable.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Haves)
Agentic Product Experience: Prior experience building and shipping products with autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agents.
Developer or QA Tooling: Experience building products for developers or QA engineers with an understanding of the SDLC.
Hands-on Tech: Previous experience as a developer or data scientist is a strong plus.
Global Collaboration: Experience working with distributed teams across time zones.
