Job Application for Product Manager at Parasail

Product Manager San Mateo, CA

Parasail is redefining AI infrastructure by enabling seamless deployment across a distributed network of GPUs, optimizing for cost, performance, and flexibility. Our mission is to empower AI developers with a fast, cost-efficient, and scalable cloud experience—free from vendor lock-in and designed for the next generation of AI workloads.

What You’ll Do

Own the platform roadmap: Translate the CEO’s high-level strategic vision into a detailed, prioritized product roadmap. Define what gets built, when, and why – spanning billing, pricing, access control, endpoints, metrics, observability, and account management.

Drive 0-to-1 product development: Lead the design and launch of new product lines including seamless custom model hosting, agentic workflow support, voice agent infrastructure, and enterprise management capabilities.

Build a best-in-class developer experience: Ensure every API, dashboard, and workflow is fast, intuitive, and delightful. Set the bar at “customers get set up on their first call” – speed and responsiveness are superpowers.

Bring structure and discipline: Establish the product planning processes, prioritization frameworks, and cross-functional coordination that a rapidly scaling company needs. Rally engineering and design around what matters most.

Evolve the product portfolio: Continue refining and expanding Parasail’s core offerings – dedicated nodes, serverless inference, and dedicated serverless – based on deep customer insight and competitive intelligence.

Be a customer-obsessed product leader: Engage directly with customers, incorporate feedback rapidly, and ensure product decisions are grounded in real-world production needs.

Who You Are

Must-Haves

Focused, prioritized, and organized. You bring clarity to ambiguity. You know what matters, you say no to what doesn’t, and you follow through on commitments. You don’t spread like liquid.

Structured product leader. You bring rigorous planning, process, and frameworks to complement a visionary founder. You turn instinct and context into actionable roadmaps.

Platform and developer tools expertise. You’ve built and scaled developer-facing platforms, APIs, or infrastructure products. You understand what makes a great developer experience.

Product leader, not project manager. You have strong 0-to-1 instincts, form your own convictions about what to build, and advocate for your point of view. You don’t wait for customers or stakeholders to hand you a spec.

AI tooling and infrastructure fluency. You have hands-on experience with AI/ML tooling, cloud infrastructure, or iPaaS platforms. You’re deeply familiar with the AI developer ecosystem and have informed opinions about where it’s heading.

Exceptional communicator. You articulate a clear viewpoint in writing and in person. You can rally a team, align executives, and communicate product strategy across all levels.

Analytically rigorous. You ground product decisions in data, define success metrics, and use quantitative insight to prioritize.

Nice-to-Haves

Developer evangelism instincts. You have a feel for developer communities and know how to build enthusiasm and adoption around a platform.

Positive, energetic force. You bring energy to organizing, planning, and rallying cross-functional teams.

Calibrated risk-taker. You know when to move fast and take calculated risks and when to follow strict guidelines. No cutting corners.
