Principal Product Manager – AI Platform

San Francisco / Palo Alto (In-Office)

Banking is being reimagined—and customers expect every interaction to be easy, personal, and instant. 

We are building a universal banking assistant that millions of U.S. consumers can use to transact across all financial institutions and, over time, autonomously drive their financial goals. Powered by our proprietary BankGPT platform, this assistant is positioned to displace age-old legacy systems within financial institutions and own the end-to-end CX stack, unlocking a $200B opportunity and potentially replacing multiple publicly traded companies. 

Ultimately, our mission is to drive financial well-being for millions of consumers.

With over two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 50% holding less than $500 in savings, and only 17% financially literate, we aim to put financial well-being on autopilot to help solve this problem.

About interface.ai

Banking hasn't kept up with how people actually live their financial lives. At interface.ai, we're building AI-native products that transform how millions of Americans interact with their financial institutions, making every interaction intelligent, personal, and proactive.

Our platform powers AI agents that handle real banking tasks end-to-end: moving money, resolving issues, converting loans, and surfacing financial insights across voice, chat, and digital channels. We're not building another chatbot. We're building the AI infrastructure that will become the primary way people bank, unlocking a massive market opportunity by displacing the legacy systems that financial institutions have been stuck with for decades.

With two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, only 17% financially literate, and 50% holding less than $500 in savings, the urgency is real. We're putting financial well-being on autopilot.

We power AI agents for 100+ financial institutions, serving millions of banking members across the U.S., and are backed by leading investors including Avataar Venture Partners and Blume Ventures.

Our platform enables banks and credit unions to automate high-volume customer interactions across voice and digital channels while improving resolution rates, reducing operational costs, and increasing customer engagement.

Key credibility anchors:

  • Series B AI company building agentic AI infrastructure for financial institutions

  • Trusted by 100+ banks and credit unions across North America

  • Serving millions of end users through conversational AI across voice, chat, and mobile channels

The Opportunity

You will own the AI platform that every product at the company depends on. This is not a support function: the platform is the competitive moat. Your decisions directly determine the ceiling of what every other product team can build.

You'll inherit a multi component platform, assess what exists, and define what comes next: what to consolidate, what to invest in, what to sunset. As the senior IC in a pillar of 3-4PMs, you'll set technical direction, mentor, and raise the quality bar, while partnering with engineering leadership to scale the system to millions of end users at startup speed.

What You'll Own

  • Agent runtime & orchestration: multi-agent orchestration, memory/context management, tool routing, goal planning, and policy-aligned behavior
  • Platform contracts: APIs, versioning, deprecation, and migration strategy: you define the boundaries and the lifecycle for all consuming teams
  • Model lifecycle: selection, evaluation, benchmarking, fine-tuning enablement, and prompt optimization. You define when to prompt-tune vs fine-tune vs switch models.
  • Inference performance & reliability: latency budgets, caching, batching, quantization, multi-region deployments, fallbacks, and safe rollout patterns (canaries, feature flags, rollback)
  • Safety & compliance: PII detection/masking, prompt/response safety policies, tenant isolation, SOC2/GDPR readiness, audit logs, and encryption: compliance is a product requirement, not an afterthought
  • Evaluation & quality: offline golden sets, regression testing, hallucination measurement, task success metrics, and production-to-improvement feedback loops
  • Voice & multimodal: ASR/TTS integration patterns, WER, interruption handling, turn-taking, and latency budgets for real-time conversational intelligence
  • Pillar leadership: You set technical direction, mentor, raise the bar, and have input on hiring. You prioritize competing demands from multiple product pillars, define the platform investment thesis, and protect the platform from becoming a feature factory.

Who You Are

You think in systems, not features. You read a platform outage postmortem and immediately see the product decision that caused it. You've built API contracts that entire product orgs depend on, and you've made the hard call to break one when the platform needed to evolve.

You understand the full AI stack: from model training through inference optimization to production monitoring. You can spec a fine-tuning pipeline, set latency budgets for real-time voice, and debate quantization trade-offs with a staff engineer, all in the same week.

You build your own tools. You use AI to prototype, analyze, and accelerate your work — building agents, writing scripts, creating automated workflows, whatever gets the job done fastest. Not because someone told you to, but because you can't imagine working any other way.

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in product management, with 3+ years at Staff/Principal level on platform, AI/ML, or infrastructure products
  • Owned a multi-component platform serving multiple product teams, not just a single product
  • Deep technical fluency: can read code, review architecture, and debug production issues alongside engineers
  • Experience with AI/ML platforms: LLM orchestration, model evaluation, fine-tuning, RAG, agentic frameworks, or similar
  • Experience governing platform contracts and managing how internal teams consume capabilities
  • Built in enterprise SaaS environments with multi-tenant, compliance, and governance requirements
  • AI-native workflow: You build with AI daily — creating agents, automating analyses, prototyping with code, building custom workflows. The specific tools don't matter (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, Replit, custom scripts — all count); what matters is that you've moved beyond prompting into building.

Bonus Points

  • Financial services or regulated industry experience
  • Voice/ASR/TTS systems and real-time latency-sensitive products
  • LLM evaluation frameworks, multi-agent orchestration, or RLHF/RLAIF
  • Knowledge graph or RAG-based retrieval systems
  • Built a platform team from scratch

Our Values

  • Act Like You're the Founder: Own the outcome from start to finish
  • No Fear. Speak Your Mind: Candor moves us forward
  • Pursuit of Excellence: Raise the bar, every time
  • AI-First Mindset: Think automation, intelligence, and scale-first in every solution
  • Don't Assume. Seek to Understand: Start with questions, not conclusions

How We Work

Every PM builds with AI daily. Our standard toolkit is Cursor, MCP integrations, and custom AI agents — and we onboard every new hire on these tools in their first week. We hold a high quality bar and move at startup speed. Flat organization. No empire-building.

What We Offer

  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match and financial wellness perks
  • Discretionary PTO + paid parental leave
  • Mental health, wellness, and family benefits
  • Competitive equity with meaningful upside

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
