Senior AI Product Manager, Code

Scale has been the leading AI data foundry helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI including frontier model training enterprise adoption defense applications and autonomous vehicles. Our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the worlds most important decisions.

Coding is one of Scales strongest and fastest-moving domains. We builtSWE-Bench Pro a contamination-resistant benchmark of 1865 long-horizon software engineering tasks across 41 repositories including a first-of-its-kind private set drawn from proprietary startup codebases which cut frontier model scores from over 70% on SWE-Bench Verified to roughly 23% and became a reference point for how the industry measures coding agents. We then extended that foundation with SWE Atlas an evaluation suite spanning Codebase QnA Test Writing and Refactoring which measures the full engineering loop rather than issue resolution alone. And we are among the largest external contributors to the FrontierBench (Formerly Terminal-Bench) lineage contributing more tasks than any other single organization to the launch set.

Were looking for a Senior AI Product Manager to own and scale this Coding portfolio from this role you will define the strategy roadmap and operational excellence of Scales coding data products RL environments and agentic coding evaluations. You will work across AI Product Management ML Researchers Engineering Operations and Go-To-Market teams to turn our benchmark credibility into a durable revenue-generating product line that leading labs depend on to train the next generation of software engineering agents.

You will serve as the product owner for coding initiatives driving task design environment infrastructure expert contributor quality customer adoption and business impact. You will work directly with leading AI labs and enterprise customers representing Scale as a thought partner in how coding models are trained and measured.

The ideal candidate combines strong product judgment hands-on technical depth in software engineering operational rigor and customer-facing experience with a passion for turning emerging model capabilities into scalable data products.

You Will

• Own the roadmap and strategy for Scales Coding portfolio defining priorities across SFT and preference data reinforcement learning environments agentic task suites and evaluation products.
• Extend the SWE-Bench Pro and SWE Atlas franchises; deciding what comes next as agents saturate current tasks and converting benchmark authority into training-data and environment revenue.
• Facilitate exploration of the Coding domain and drive alignment among AI-PM ML Engineering Operations and GTM stakeholders.
• Evaluate prioritize and operationalize new coding product proposals ensuring alignment with customer demand model capability frontiers and company strategy.
• Define and manage the end-to-end coding product lifecycle from ideation and task taxonomy design to pilot launch scaling and sunset decisions.
• Partner with ML researchers and senior software engineers to develop trustworthy task specifications rubric and grader design verifiable reward signals and quality bars for code correctness.
• Drive the roadmap for coding infrastructure; Harbor-native container environments execution sandboxes reproducible repo images automated verification and contributor tooling to improve scalability reduce manual effort and accelerate delivery.
• Establish governance processes for data quality contamination and leakage prevention license and IP hygiene reproducibility auditability and release management.
• Grow and steward the expert contributor network of professional software engineers across languages frameworks and seniority levels balancing throughput cost and quality.
• Own and grow external partnerships across the coding ecosystem including open-source benchmark collaborations enterprise codebase partnerships and joint releases.
• Work directly with frontier AI labs and enterprise customers to understand where their coding models fail gather feedback and influence future investments.
• Track adoption usage model-impact signals and business outcomes using data-driven insights to guide roadmap decisions and resource allocation.
• Identify new coding capability areas; long-horizon agentic work repo-scale refactoring debugging code review migrations low-resource languages; that strengthen Scales leadership and create new revenue opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with GTM teams to support customer engagements thought leadership initiatives product launches and strategic partnerships.

Ideally Youd Have

• 5 years of experience in product management technical program management consulting or customer-facing technical roles.
• Strong technical depth in software engineering; you can read code reason about a codebase and hold your own with senior engineers and ML researchers.
• Familiarity with how coding models are trained and evaluated including post-training methods agentic scaffolds and harnesses and coding benchmarks such as SWE-Bench and Terminal-Bench.
• Experience building and scaling products that require coordination across engineering operations and business teams.
• Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills with a demonstrated ability to drive alignment across cross-functional organizations.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate ambiguous market and customer signals into clear product strategy.
• Experience working with AI researchers ML teams developer tools or human-in-the-loop data pipelines is strongly preferred.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a track record of creating new products programs or business initiatives from the ground up.
• Bias for action and comfort operating in fast-moving ambiguous environments.
• Passion for advancing AI coding capability and helping define how the industry builds and measures software engineering agents.
