About the job

Requirements
  • At least 8 years of Product Management experience, including at least 4 years focused on infrastructure, platforms, ML/AI systems, or other technical products serving internal engineering or data-science customers.
  • A proven track record scaling technical platforms from inception through maturity for demanding internal customers.
  • Technical fluency across the modern AI/ML stack, including model serving and inference, API gateways/proxies, evaluation and testing frameworks, and cloud/Kubernetes infrastructure, sufficient to discuss architecture trade-offs with engineers and data scientists.
  • Ability to use telemetry and cost data, including model performance, evaluation results, adoption analytics, and spend data, to diagnose bottlenecks and drive product strategy.
Responsibilities
  • Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the AI Platform, a shared, governed entry point for model and agent workloads.
  • Own the vision for a governed, model-agnostic AI gateway through which model and agent traffic routes, including per-team and per-use-case cost attribution, flexible model routing, rate limiting, provider failover, automatic spending caps, and stop switches. Make model-swap and cost decisions changeable at the gateway rather than separately in each service.
  • Define the roadmap for the evaluation engine and its pass/fail gate, evaluation-gated prompt management with versioning and rollback, and per-agent accuracy scoring to catch quality regressions before they reach users.
  • Define and champion the trust-and-autonomy ladder, including thresholds, progression criteria, evidence, approvals, and rollback logic governing when agents earn more independence.
  • Own the production path for self-hosted large language model/open-weight model serving and traditional machine learning, consolidating both workloads under one standardized, observable platform.
  • Define and instrument metrics tracking platform health and business impact.
  • Establish partnerships with product engineering, architecture, and data science to drive adoption and ensure the platform reflects how teams build and serve models.
  • Manage a complex platform backlog spanning parallel tracks and capacity constraints; make and communicate sequencing and trade-off decisions.
  • Act as the primary interface between technical platform teams and business stakeholders, translating infrastructure investment into clear business outcomes.
Desired Qualifications
  • Hands-on familiarity with large language model gateways/proxies such as LiteLLM, evaluation and observability tooling such as Langfuse, and model-serving frameworks such as KServe, SageMaker, Bedrock, or Ray.
  • Experience with prompt management and versioning, large language model fine-tuning, or self-hosted/open-weight model serving in production.
  • Familiarity with agent governance concepts, including guardrails, personally identifiable information controls, prompt-injection protection, and autonomy/trust frameworks, and with the tension between agent velocity and cost control.
  • Experience operating a platform across competing tracks and stakeholders, sequencing revenue-critical stabilization work alongside a new strategic build-out.
  • Exceptional leadership skills and a history of influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority.

Strategy manager lands role at Angi after messaging 1,200 people on LinkedIn

Hashim Mahmoud, a 30-year-old strategy and operations manager at Angi, landed his current role in 2024 after contacting over 1,200 people on LinkedIn, speaking with approximately 150, and conducting about 20 interviews. His strategy centred on personalised connection requests and informational conversations. Mahmoud maintained a spreadsheet tracking former colleagues, secondary connections and professionals at target companies. He sent brief, respectful messages requesting 15 to 20 minute calls to learn about their backgrounds and companies, avoiding direct job requests. During conversations, Mahmoud asked about career paths, required skills and team culture. He systematically followed up with thank-you notes and requested introductions to other professionals. The networking helped him understand company dynamics and refine his interview skills. His position at Angi came through a former colleague's introduction, ultimately leading to a job offer several months later.

Angi posts Q1 revenue miss, withdraws guidance after March slowdown in large home projects

Angi reported first-quarter revenue of $238.2 million, missing analyst estimates of $240.6 million and marking a 3.2% year-on-year decline. The home services marketplace withdrew short-term guidance, prompting a sharp negative market reaction. Management attributed the miss to a challenging March, when homeowners deferred larger projects in favour of smaller jobs due to macroeconomic pressures. This shift reduced professional service provider demand and budget allocations. CEO Jeffrey Kip acknowledged inconsistencies in delivering improvements on Angi's legacy technology stack. Despite the revenue miss, adjusted EBITDA of $22.91 million beat estimates by 43.2%. Kip told analysts the company will fund its AI platform transformation internally and focus less on incremental revenue from legacy operations, declining to provide explicit near-term guidance to avoid distraction from long-term strategy execution.

Angi suspends guidance and pivots to AI-native marketplace after Q1 revenue drops to $238M

Angi reported first-quarter 2026 sales of $238.15 million, down from $245.91 million year-over-year, whilst swinging to a net loss of $8.98 million from a profit of $15.11 million previously. The home services marketplace company has frozen its legacy platform, suspended quarterly guidance and committed to rebuilding an AI-native marketplace. The pivot signals a meaningful reset prioritising technology transformation over near-term revenue growth. Execution risk now centres on whether Angi's AI investments can offset weaker network revenue and declining active professionals whilst eventually reconnecting with long-term home improvement spending trends. Angi's narrative projects $1.1 billion revenue by 2029, requiring 3.4% annual growth. Analysts' fair value estimate of $14.29 represents a 173% upside to the current share price.
