Principal Product Manager Tech ES, Agents, Training - Annapurna Labs

AWS Trainium is deployed at scale, with millions of chips in production, and has

been used for training and inference of frontier models. AWS Neuron is the

software stack for Trainium, enabling customers to run deep learning and

generative AI workloads with optimal performance and cost efficiency.

AWS Neuron is hiring a Principal Technical Product Manager to drive the product

strategy for agentic AI systems that accelerate customer adoption of Trainium.

You will own the end to end product experience for autonomous and interactive

workflows that leverage generative AI to port, optimize, and tune ML models for

Neuron, enabling customers to seamlessly migrate from other platforms and

achieve optimal performance with minimal manual intervention.

You will define how customers interact with our agentic systems, spanning

interactive IDE based experiences to fully autonomous production pipelines. You

will drive the strategy for knowledge systems that help agents learn and

improve, and integration with the Neuron SDK and developer tools.

To be successful in this role, you will partner with engineering teams building

agentic infrastructure, applied scientists developing in-context learning, post

training and reinforcement learning approaches, PMs responsible for Neuron

compiler, runtime, and NKI, as well as Marketing, Business Development, and

Solution Architects supporting customers. You will develop deep knowledge of LLM

based automation, agentic system architectures, model transformation workflows,

and kernel optimization to effectively define product strategy and make informed

technical decisions.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate can navigate ambiguity in a fast moving, early stage

initiative, balance competing priorities across multiple workstreams, and drive

alignment across engineering and science stakeholders with excellent written and

verbal communication abilities.

The ideal candidate has experience with:

Technical product management for AI/ML platforms, developer tools, or automation

systems

LLM based applications and agentic AI architectures (multi agent systems, tool

use, autonomous workflows)

ML model lifecycle management (training, fine tuning, deployment, optimization)

Developer experience for AI assisted tooling and IDE integrations

Data platforms and knowledge management systems

Metrics driven product development with clear success criteria

About AWS Neuron

AWS Neuron is the software stack for running deep learning and generative AI

workloads on AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia. It includes a compiler, runtime,

training and inference libraries, and developer tools for monitoring, profiling,

and debugging. Built on an open source foundation, Neuron supports native

PyTorch and JAX frameworks and popular ML libraries without code modification.

Neuron enables rapid experimentation, distributed training across multiple chips

and nodes, and cost optimized inference powered by optimized kernels. For

performance optimization, Neuron provides the Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) for

direct hardware access and a suite of profiling and debugging tools.
