About the role

  • Harper isn't an AI tool sold to brokers.
  • We are the broker - we do the work end-to-end and sell the outcome: the right coverage, fast, at the right price, with the right service.
  • Owning both sides is the moat, and the companies that win this transition won't just have great AI; they'll have figured out how to organize themselves around it, so that knowledge gets encoded into systems agents and operators can query.

Responsibilities

  • Own the KPIs. Conversion, handle time, accuracy, autonomous-resolution rate, retention - whatever the leverage point is for your surface. You set the targets, instrument them, move them. If the metric isn't moving, that's your problem.
  • Own the eval regime.
  • Build the data flywheel. Work hand-in-glove with data labeling and validation to build the golden datasets your module's models need. You define what "right" looks like.
  • Own the cross-modal experience. Your module spans web, voice, and human. You decide where each modality wins, where they hand off, how the on-ramps feel.
  • If you want to own a module that touches real customers from week one - send your resume and tell us about something you built that moved a number.
  • If that's a cost you're glad to pay, this is one of the few PM seats where you own a real piece of the business from week one.

Requirements

  • 1-3 years in product, or an early-career operator, engineer, or AI researcher who's been doing the work without the title.
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a product or system - KPIs, roadmap, execution - and a track record of going deep on a domain and encoding what you learned into a system.
  • You can argue AI tradeoffs (agents, LLMs, context engineering, data pipelines, evals) with the engineer who writes the code, even though you don't write it.

Nice to have

  • AI/ML products, voice AI, agent frameworks, or workflow automation
  • eval/prompt/context engineering
  • insurance, fintech, or regulated-industry experience
  • prior startup experience.
  • The people who thrive here wouldn't have it any other way.

Compensation

  • $125,000-$170,000 base + performance bonus + equity.

Benefits

  • Uber commuter benefits; breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided; snacks and coffee stocked; free gym membership; health, dental, and vision.
  • The hours are long and the learning curve is steep - we hire early-career PMs on purpose and hand them the kind of surface area and reps that take a decade somewhere else.

Company info

  • You're obsessed with evals - you'd rather ship a worse model with a great eval harness than the reverse - and you think in KPIs ("we cut handle time 40%," not "we shipped the feature").
  • How a daycare buys insurance versus a trucking company.
  • Encode the nuance. Translate what makes your module's customers different into rules, prompts, agents, and data structures.
  • Talk to customers every day. Literally - not "5 calls last quarter."
  • You get what an AI services company is: we're not selling software, we're doing the work and selling the outcome, which means you ship behavior into a probabilistic system real operators and customers have to trust.
