Who we are looking for
At Ada, Product Managers own their work end-to-end, shaping every stage—from ideation to market launch. This is a highly visible, high-impact role, where you’ll play a key part in defining and delivering innovative AI-driven experiences.
We’re looking for a driven Senior Product Manager who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments. You embrace challenges, act decisively, and relentlessly pursue results. You are curious by default, asking ‘why’ until you get to the root of a problem. Your decisions blend data, intuition, and customer insight, ensuring everything you build is intentional, high-quality, and deeply integrated into the broader product.
You focus on what matters most, prioritizing a few, high-impact initiatives that elevate the entire platform. You think ahead, architecting strategies that not only solve today’s challenges but also position Ada for what’s next.
What you’ll get to do every day
- Lead the evolution of Ada’s extensibility platform, defining the strategy and roadmap for APIs, webhooks, and SDKs that empower customers and partners to build tailored, high-impact integrations with Ada.
- Accelerate developer productivity with best-in-class documentation and tooling, focusing on structured examples and clear specifications that enable both developers and AI coding agents to build with speed and confidence.
- Collaborate across teams and with external partners to identify new extensibility needs, validate novel integration patterns (e.g. MCP), and deliver product improvements that meet the diverse demands of enterprise environments.
- Open new integration pathways into and out of Ada, anchoring on high-value use cases while enabling the platform flexibility required to unlock usage patterns we haven’t yet imagined.
- Grow and streamline adoption of the Integration Framework, making it easier for internal teams and third-party developers to build and publish integrations that any customer can install with minimal effort.
- Drive API usage and ecosystem expansion by tracking adoption, improving performance, and partnering with go-to-market teams to deliver extensibility-driven value across Ada’s customer base.
About You
- Proven product leadership – At least 5 years of experience in product development (engineering, design, or product management), including 2+ years in a product management role, driving products from concept to launch.
- A builder’s mindset in a greenfield space – You thrive in ambiguity, using creativity, experimentation, and rapid iteration to define entirely new product patterns rather than optimizing existing ones.
- A strategic and execution-focused approach – You can define and execute on a long-term strategy, delivering incremental value at every stage while keeping the bigger picture in focus.
- Technical fluency – You have a deep understanding of API design and SDK development, ensuring Ada’s API are powerful, and easy to integrate. You collaborate closely with engineers to architect scalable, well-documented APIs, focusing on developer experience, usability, and long-term maintainability.
- A strong customer focus – You are relentless in understanding real-world customer problems, balancing big-picture thinking with an obsession for crafting the right details.
- An ability to lead with influence – You bring people along by inspiring, aligning, and advocating, not by authority. You collaborate across engineering, design, and business teams to bring your vision to life.
- Bias for action and problem-solving – You are self-motivated, proactive, and creative, turning challenges into opportunities and driving momentum even in uncharted territory.
The expected salary range for this position is $169,000 to $210,000. Actual pay will be determined based on several factors such as past experience and qualifications, geographic location, and other job-related factors permitted by law.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
