JOB TITLE: Technical Product Manager
LOCATION: Remote US
THE ROLE:
The next era of Splice is about helping music creators express what they hear in their head, shape ideas faster, and collaborate with intelligent tools that understand music, taste, and context.
Agentic technology is at the center of this shift. You’ll drop into high-priority music creation products, understand the creator problem, understand enough of the technical system to know what’s possible, and turn ambiguity into something we can learn from: a prototype, a spec, an eval, a user test, a demo, a shipped workflow.
This is a hands-on product-building role. Some days you may be shaping an AI workflow inside a creator surface. Some days you may be working with engineers on tools, prompts, model behavior, search, personalization, or evaluation. Some days you may be sitting with creators, watching where the experience breaks, and turning that signal into the next iteration.
You might come from product management, technical product management, engineering, or some strange overlap of all three. The title matters less than the way you work. What matters is that you can combine product judgment, technical fluency, creator empathy, and high agency in an ambiguous environment.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Work across strategic agentic music product surfaces, moving where the highest-leverage learning is.
- Turn fuzzy product opportunities into crisp hypotheses, prototypes, specs, eval plans, and shipped experiments.
- Partner with engineering to understand the underlying system: prompts, tools, APIs, search, personalization, model behavior, latency, cost, and quality.
- Build or prototype directly when that is the fastest way to learn.
- Work closely with design to make agentic experiences feel native to the creator workflow, not bolted on.
- Run lightweight discovery with creators: usability sessions, dogfood loops, session reviews, and direct feedback.
- Define what “good” means for AI behavior: when the system should ask, act, suggest, search, generate, or stay out of the way.
- Translate creator intent into product and technical requirements that engineers, designers, researchers, and music-domain experts can act on.
- Use modern AI tools as part of your daily workflow to move faster, synthesize faster, and make ideas tangible sooner.
- Help develop the operating playbook for how Splice builds agentic music products.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
- 3 to 5 years of experience building and shipping products, as a PM, TPM, engineer, or product engineer. Title matters less than how you work.
- Hands-on experience with agentic systems: you have tuned prompts, built evals, worked with LLM APIs, or debugged agent behavior in production.
- Strong bias toward making things real quickly. You do not wait for a perfect spec to start learning.
- Technical fluency: you can read code, understand system architecture, and have sharp conversations with engineers about tradeoffs.
- Experience with product analytics, user research, or quality evaluation for AI systems.
- Strong written communication: you can turn messy observations into crisp product direction.
- A genuine feel for user experience: you care how the product feels, not just that it technically works.
NICE TO HAVES:
- Experience making music or working in a DAW.
- Familiarity with music technology, audio products, or creator tools.
- Experience with LLM-as-judge frameworks, golden datasets, or structured quality benchmarking.
- A portfolio of scrappy, self-directed projects that show how you think and build.
SPLICE BENEFITS:
- Compensation & Equity: Competitive pay with annual reviews and equity opportunities.
- Time Off: Unlimited PTO to recharge and thrive.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
- Retirement Savings: 401(k) plan with immediate vesting and company match.
- Parental Support: 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for non-birthing parents, and 18-20 weeks for birthing parents.
- Flexible Work Options: Work remotely or connect at our office hubs and creative spaces worldwide.
- Professional Growth: Annual learning budget, leadership programs, and team ambassador opportunities.
- Community & Connection: Inclusive events, team meet-ups, and vibrant Employee Resource Groups.
The national pay range for this role is $94,329 - $117,911. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience.
