Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've shipped AI/ML-powered product features (personalization, content ranking, or generation) and can speak to tradeoffs between relevance, scale, and responsible AI
  • You're comfortable operating in high-ambiguity environments and can define problems from first principles; you thrive owning full-stack product (strategy → execution → iteration)
  • You have experience working with data scientists and engineers to scope and ship ML systems; you can read and interpret metrics with rigor
  • You're energized by massive scale (millions of users) and long-term impact; you think in terms of member lifetime value, not just vanity metrics
Won't Work If
  • You need remote-first flexibility; this role is explicitly hybrid in the Bay Area with on-site days required
  • You prefer waterfall planning and waiting for perfect information; LinkedIn moves fast and requires rapid experimentation and iteration
  • You lack hands-on experience shipping product or working cross-functionally with eng/data; this is a hands-on, full-stack PM role
