Senior Product Manager

The posting, as Ambient.ai wrote it

Build a safer world with us, one incident at a time.

Ambient.ai is the category creator and leader in Agentic Physical Security. Powered by Ambient Pulsar, the first reasoning Vision-Language Model purpose-built for physical security, our platform seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and physical access control systems to unify monitoring, access control, threat assessment, response, and investigations through an always-on reasoning layer that augments security operators with superhuman capabilities. The results: 95% fewer false alarms, investigations 20x faster, and 10x faster response.

The momentum speaks for itself: we doubled new ARR in FY26, and have delivered results for world-class customers including Cisco, ServiceNow, SentinelOne, TikTok, Bayer, and MoMA. That kind of momentum creates an environment where great people thrive, and it shows: we recently ranked #71 out of 500 on the Forbes best startup employers list https://www.forbes.com/lists/americas-best-startup-employers/.

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is on a fast-paced journey to fulfill our mission: prevent every security incident possible.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to Ian Withrow, VP of Product Management, you'll own a major area of Ambient's platform: the problems it solves for enterprise security teams, what we build, and ultimately the realization of customer value.

Our customers run security operations centers where a small team is responsible for thousands of cameras and doors, far more than people can watch. Your job is to find the next problems worth solving for those teams, turn them into well-defined problems for engineering and design, and get the result into daily use.

We're building the product team now. You'll be one of the first PMs to join under our new VP of Product, so you'll help shape how product management works here, not just follow a playbook.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Take new capabilities from 0 to 1 to 10: discover the problem with customers, define it, ship it with engineering and design, and drive it to adoption.
• Decide how success will be measured before you build, then report adoption and usage after you ship. Here, adopted is done; shipped is not.
• Spend real time with customers: the operators who use our product every day, the security leaders who buy it, and the field teams who sell and support it.
• Work with engineering as a credible technical peer, especially on AI product questions like accuracy, false alarms, and operator trust.
• Think from first principles. Requests will come from sales, customers, and leadership; you dig past the request to the underlying problem, weigh the evidence, and make a clear, well-reasoned case for what we should build and why.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING
