Technical Product Manager

About

Edison Scientific builds and commercializes AI agents for science. Scientific discovery moves too slowly, and autonomous AI agents are how we intend to fix that. We’re assembling a team of top researchers and engineers across AI and biology to build an AI scientist.

Role

We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to join our Platform team and own the execution engine behind our products. You’ll ensure that features move from concept to delivery—managing tickets, triaging bugs, driving roadmap execution, and keeping engineering teams unblocked and on track.

You’ll work directly with our engineering leads and sub-teams to turn a backlog of product feedback into delivered features. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role—ideal for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, energized by momentum, and motivated by shipping fast.

This role is on-site at our San Francisco office in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Our office is a converted warehouse with high ceilings, open space, and a team that genuinely believes in what they’re building.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day project management across engineering sub-teams: ticket management, sprint planning, triaging incoming requests, and tracking dependencies

• Drive features from backlog to shipped product, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks

• Synthesize product feedback into a clear, prioritized execution plan and keep the team focused on what matters most

• Run standups, manage timelines, and hold teams accountable to delivery milestones

• Serve as the connective tissue between engineering sub-teams, improving cross-team communication and coordination

• Identify and remove blockers proactively—escalate when needed, solve directly when possible

• Collaborate closely with engineering leads to shape how work gets planned and executed

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in technical product management, technical program management, or a similar execution-focused role

• Understanding of how products are built at an architectural level

• Proven track record of building products in a fast-paced environment

• Strong project management fundamentals: you have your own methodologies and they actually work

• Comfortable with high-level technical concepts including general software architecture and database fundamentals

• Excellent communication skills with a knack for managing up and across engineering teams

• Familiarity with generative AI tools and the current AI landscape

Bonus Points For

• 1+ years of experience in a software engineering role

• Experience in biotech, pharma, or scientific software (helpful but not required)

• Experience setting up or improving product development processes from scratch
