Hybrid AI Product Manager

at Arcade

• Job title: AI Product Manager
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Mid level, Senior
• Salary: $190,000 - $265,000 per year
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Location requirements: Hybrid, San Francisco, United States

About the role

• Own Arcade’s AI roadmap and product initiatives enhancing user engagement through on-brand product experiences. Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate AI-driven solutions effectively.

Responsibilities

• Own AI product initiatives end-to-end — from problem discovery and technical approach to launch, iteration, and long-term quality
• Talk to customers constantly, turning messy qualitative feedback into clear product direction, priorities, and tradeoffs
• Define and measure quality for AI systems, establishing what “good enough” means and how to improve it over time
• Partner deeply with engineering and design on AI-first workflows, system constraints, and user experience
• Use data to guide decisions, combining metrics, experiments, and qualitative insight to iterate under ambiguity
• Create clarity and momentum, turning vague problems into concrete plans, shipped features, and learning loops
• Make strong product judgments, balancing UX, technical feasibility, AI limitations, cost, and business impact

Requirements

• Customer-Centric Product Thinking: You have strong instincts for user problems and back them up with real customer exposure. You don’t build features just because they were requested — you synthesize, prioritize, and push back when needed.
• Technical Fluency with AI Systems: You can credibly partner with engineers on AI-driven products. You understand concepts like pipelines, latency, cost tradeoffs, evaluation, and failure modes — and you’ve shipped and iterated on AI features before.
• Strong Product Judgment & Taste: You have a point of view on quality. You can look at an AI-generated output and quickly identify what’s wrong, what matters most to users, and what’s worth fixing now versus later.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: You frame problems with hypotheses and success metrics, use data to validate (or invalidate) assumptions, and avoid hiding behind “we didn’t have enough data.”
• Execution & Organization: You turn ambiguity into progress. You communicate clearly in writing, manage priorities well, and ship without excessive process or chaos.
• Strategic Perspective: You connect day-to-day product decisions to broader business goals and long-term leverage, balancing quick wins with durable quality improvements.
