Role Summary

- We are seeking a dynamic and strategic product leader to shape the vision and execute the product development for la Plateforme, a one-stop developer platform for deploying, customizing, and monitoring generative AI models.

- The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the technical and business aspects of generative AI and a strong empathy for developers and enterprises.

-They will need to have a deep knowledge of how developers work and adopt solutions and how enterprise decision-makers agree to use a new technology tool.

-They should deeply understand infrastructure matters (La Plateforme is not dissimilar from a public cloud business) and machine learning operations (a part of it corresponds to an MLOps product).
