Launched in 2019, Public has been trusted with billions in assets of affluent investors. Headquartered in New York City, it’s raised over $400M from investors like Accel and Tiger Global.

The Role

We’re hiring an AI Product Manager to work on a broad range of AI initiatives across the company. This is a rare role: high-impact, strategic, technical, fast-moving — ideal for someone who wants to apply genAI to help investors better manage their portfolio. You’ll work across our most ambitious AI efforts, including:

• AI-powered portfolio construction and thematic investing
• Becoming the world’s first agentic brokerage
• Personalized portfolio summaries and insights
• And more!

This is a highly hands-on, hybrid role where you’ll own the strategy and vision for an AI product while leading a small team of engineers and driving execution. You’ll prototype and ship features, evaluate and evolve system architectures, build the right tooling and observability, and stay on the forefront of emerging models and techniques—turning cutting-edge AI into real products for real users.

This is an onsite role based out of our New York City office.

What You’ll Do

• Launch new 0→1 cutting edge, industry-first AI products on Public, and then continue to grow and scale them
• Own the end to end product development - from strategy and ideation to prototyping, architecting and then implementing
• You’ll manage a growing team of engineers, and work cross-functionally with leadership, design, legal, compliance, operations, and more
• You’ll build working prototypes across GenAI use cases and explore new tools and architectures — then implement what actually works

Who You Are

• Strategic mindset and strong product sense, with the ability to connect your team's work to the broader product vision and business goals. You have a strong understanding of the full product development lifecycle - both managing the strategy & backlog, but also writing specs, architecting the solution, supporting development when needed, and driving overall execution
• You thrive on ambiguity and are energized by building from the ground up. You are resourceful and not afraid to dig into the weeds, or support in whatever way the project needs
• You want to work at the edge of what’s possible with AI, in a place where your work ships fast and matters
• Experience: Working in both product and genAI. Building with LLMs - Agents, toolsets, prompting, (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.). Exposure to fine-tuning or training smaller models
• Technical skills: strong Python skills, familiarity with GenAI toolkits (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.), and comfort working with and designing vector DBs (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, FAISS, etc.)
• Interested in markets, finance, or investing (no prior experience required)
