About Dialpad Dialpad is the AI platform for customer experience, built to resolve customer problems in real time across voice and digital. Our AI agents learn from your best human agents and improve with every interaction, helping organizations understand their customers, deliver better experiences, increase operational efficiencies, and build a lasting competitive advantage. Unlike legacy systems built to route and answer, or standalone agentic bot vendors built to deflect, Dialpad was built to resolve. Our AI agents and human agents operate on a single platform with shared context, allowing Agentic AI to resolve issues, advance deals, and eliminate busywork through automation while seamlessly handing conversations to humans when needed, with full context preserved. Market-leading brands, including Randstad, Motorola Solutions, Netflix, the San Diego Padres, the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club, and Cal Athletics, trust Dialpad. Dialpad is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, GV, ICONIQ Capital, and T-Mobile. Being a Dialer At Dialpad, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s how our teams do their best work every day. We put powerful AI tools in every employee’s hands so they can move faster, think bigger, and achieve more. We believe every conversation matters. And we’ve built the platform that turns those conversations into insight and action, for our customers and ourselves. We look for people who are intensely curious and hold themselves to a high bar. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We seek individuals who embody our core traits: Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic . Your role Our AI organization builds, runs, and hosts the models behind our products: custom SLMs, our ASR stack, and the inference infrastructure that serves them in real time. Products like our voice agents and agentic runtime are joint efforts with product engineering — but the models they run on are built here, and this role owns product for exactly that layer. It's a different job from the rest of platform and product engineering: research-driven, eval-heavy, and closer to training data and model behavior than to sprint boards. The standard PM toolkit doesn't cover it. The day-to-day runs on eval reports, latency budgets, and knowing whether a failure is a model problem, a serving problem, or a prompt problem — and without that fluency, even an excellent PM ends up coordinating from the outside instead of deciding from the inside. This is not a role you can do at the API-orchestration level. You need to know how models are built and run, ideally because you've built them. We're hiring someone who won't have that problem. You've been on the other side of the table — as an AI researcher, applied scientist, or ML/AI engineer — and you've since moved into product, or you're ready to. You don't need a translator between you and the people building the system, and they don't need one between them and you. What you'll do Own product direction across the full model lifecycle — data, training and adaptation, evaluation, release, production monitoring, and improvement or retirement — for our SLMs, ASR stack, and the real-time inference infrastructure that serves them. Retirement is a real part of that: the leading labs deliberately sunset models to concentrate effort, and we'd rather run a few models well than maintain a legacy model zoo. That's the whole job — not one rotation among many. Own the data strategy underneath it all: acquisition, consent and usage rights, sampling, and annotation. Model quality is decided here before the first training run — get the data model right and every ASR and SLM effort downstream gets simpler and better. On a platform built on customer conversations, consent and rights are foundational, not paperwork. Turn ambiguous model-quality questions into decisions. "Transcripts got w
