Principal Product Manager, AI agents - Search

ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the vision, strategy, and execution for the Elastic Agent Builder. As organizations shift from traditional data retrieval to autonomous, agentic workflows, the Agent Builder serves as the critical context layer that enables users to make Agents faster, lower cost, and more accurate. In this high-impact role, you will be responsible for defining how enterprises build, manage, and scale context for AI agents. WHAT YOU'LL DO As a Principal Product Manager, you will work directly with enterprise customers, sales teams, and solution architects to understand requirements, negotiate priorities, and clarify product needs. You will build, socialize, and align a roadmap for core context engineering capabilities built on top of Elastic powered retrieval and relevance for AI Agents. You will also work with data science and engineering to build out the strategy for benchmarking and evaluations of agent capabilities, collaborate with design to build user experiences that address gaps in how agents show and refine context as they work, and be the product expert and evangelize capabilities for Agent Builder through content like blog posts and open source projects. You will also work with a broad ecosystem of AI partners, including cloud service providers and community developers, to drive the adoption and growth of the Agent Builder. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you will need extensive experience in product management or solution delivery for technical, cloud infrastructure, or platform products, with a consistent record of leading sophisticated, data-intensive products from inception through launch and iterative growth. You will also need a deep technical understanding of the AI/ML landscape, including LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, and context engineering. Additionally, you will need to be able to move fast and quickly learn from experiments and tests, utilize AI tools to help accelerate your processes, and bring clarity to your decisions. You will also need to have demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organization, align multiple stakeholders toward a common vision, and drive execution in a fast-paced, remote-first environment. Outstanding spoken and written communication skills are also essential, as you will need to distill complex engineering details into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership.
