Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. The Search API currently powers AI agents, Fortune 500 companies, and AI labs. The company is a ~150-person team based largely in San Francisco, with talent from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, and founding backgrounds.
You will own strategy and execution for new products that extend the core Exa Search API to solve new use cases. This role requires working directly with strategic customers approximately 50% of the time to land real business-generating outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the roadmap, strategy, and success metrics for product extensions of the core Exa API platform
- Work directly with AI-native startups and enterprises that integrate Exa, observing their workflows, unblocking issues, and converting pain points into productized capabilities
- Define metrics and success criteria to guide prioritization and measure impact across quality, coverage, cost, and speed
- Partner with product marketing, sales, and field teams to launch platform capabilities including pricing, packaging, documentation, cookbooks, and enablement
The Product org at Exa is small and designed around outcomes: better user growth, stronger developer adoption, successful launches, and clearer company-wide prioritization. You will work directly with engineering teams by reading code and specifications, testing integrations, and building prototypes with AI tools.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2–8+ years of product management experience building technical or developer-facing products
- Strong technical background: CS/EE degree, production engineering experience, or equivalent depth earned on the job
- Excellent written communication skills
- Willingness to work directly with engineering teams by reading code and specifications, testing integrations, and building prototypes with AI tools
- Preferred: Early startup or founding experience; technical PM experience
