At Scale, our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world’s most important decisions. The Public Sector team is at the forefront of this mission, partnering with government agencies to deploy mission-critical agentic solutions. 

Role Overview

The Public Sector GenAI T&E Product Manager will be a high-horsepower technical leader, defining the vision and owning the roadmap for our evaluation capabilities. This role requires thriving in unscripted, high-stakes environments, as you will be the primary owner for the T&E tech stack—the robust infrastructure required to continuously measure, improve, and prove the superiority and sustained performance of our agentic applications.

Traversing multiple engineering organizations across Scale, you will identify bottlenecks, distill technical friction into actionable plans, and drive execution. You will work across Scale’s commercial and public sector teams to define requirements, ensuring our evaluation services are robust enough for the most demanding government use cases. Key objectives include refining the tech stack that allows ML teams to hillclimb, and surfacing critical performance information to stakeholders.  

Minimum Qualifications (Quantifiable)

• Engineering Depth: 3+ years of experience in software engineering, systems architecture, or highly technical program management. You must be able to read code, understand system architecture, and participate in technical design reviews alongside engineering teams.
• Evaluation Systems Expertise: Proven experience designing, owning the roadmap for, or operating the infrastructure required to continuously measure, improve, and show the performance of AI applications. 
• Problem Distillation: Demonstrated experience taking a vaguely defined problem (e.g., "our evaluation cycles are too slow") and delivering a technical roadmap, resource requirements, and measurable success metrics within a narrow time window.
• Ambiguity Management: Proven track record of taking a project from "stalled/undefined" to "shipped" in a high-pressure environment. You can point to at least two instances where you inherited a failing project and saw it through to production.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Led multiple projects that required direct alignment between at least three distinct engineering organizations (e.g., Infrastructure, ML Research, and Product).
• Operational Execution: Experience using technical project management frameworks (e.g., Linear) to provide consistent weekly reporting on delivery velocity and blockers to executive stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Haves)

• Security Clearance: Active Secret, Top Secret, or TS/SCI clearance.
• GenAI Implementation: Practical experience developing or evaluating features built specifically on LLMs, RAG, or autonomous agent workflows.
• Technical Rigor: Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Public Sector Expertise: 2+ years of experience working with DoD, IC, or Civil agencies on mission-critical software deployments.

The Mission

Scale AI is leading the AI revolution, developing reliable AI applications for the world's most important decisions. For the Public Sector, we translate this mission into operational advantage for our government customers.

We are looking for a technical, high-horsepower Product Manager to lead the evolution of the Public Sector Data Engine. This team believes that the data engine, capable of producing “n” models, is more important than any single model.  This role is focused on building tools that can measure and improve the computer vision and generative AI models at the heart of critical national security systems. You won’t just be managing a roadmap; you will be building the ML Ops infrastructure that allows the government to spin the ML Ops flywheel to develop reliable AI.  This work will span both Computer Vision and Generative AI.

This is a hybrid role for a PM who loves the "why" as much as the "how." You will sit at the center of our transition from a data labeling leader to a full-stack AI partner. You will architect the vision for our ML Ops tooling, building a seamless "foundational engine" that supports data management, curation, model development, and model evaluation for internal and external Machine Learning Teams. You’ll be expected to guide engineering teams through design challenges, system integrations, and the technical scaffolding required for state-of-the-art model testing.

You will:

• Architect the AI Engine: Drive the roadmap for Public Sector ML Ops tools, ensuring they serve as the "ground truth" foundation for building, evaluating, and deploying AI systems.
• Bridge Custom & Scale: Support diverse customer profiles—from massive-scale satellite and video labeling engagements to complex, bespoke ML Ops partnerships.
• Own Technical Scoping: Partner with Engineering to make high-stakes design decisions on infrastructure, APIs, and model evaluation frameworks (T&E).
• Operationalize Collaboration: Use high EQ and structured thinking to align Engineering, Operations, and elite Government stakeholders.

Ideally you'd have:

• Technical by Core: You have a background in Software Engineering, Field Engineering, or Vision Systems. You can read code, understand system architecture, and earn the immediate respect of world-class engineers.
• ML/CV Experience: You have experience in Computer Vision or ML Ops. You understand the lifecycle of a model—from data acquisition to Test & Evaluation.
• Grit: You possess a "whatever-it-takes" drive. You are comfortable running through walls, grinding through ambiguity, and delivering results in high-pressure environments.
• Structured Thinker, but Action Oriented: You can take a challenging problem, decompose it, create action plans, and drive results.

Nice to haves:

• Security Clearance: An active Secret or TS/SCI clearance is a nice to have for this role. If you do not have an active clearance, you must be willing to obtain one.

• Demonstrated Technical Rigor: Advanced degree (CS, Engineering, or a related field) from a top-tier institution, or equivalent experience that showcases deep technical problem-solving ability.
• Computer Vision (CV) Expertise: Practical experience designing, building, or evaluating large-scale Computer Vision models, including advanced data processing and deployment techniques.
