Principal Product Manager, Data Platform

The role

You will build and own the Data Platform that underpins the AISim scientific discovery platform. This includes managing the data lifecycle from ingestion to model use and governing data through sensitivity and field-of-use controls.

What you will do

• Define and own the Data Platform roadmap across ingestion, auto-detection, schema reconciliation, and lineage
• Define and own the Knowledge Graph strategy and execution within AISim
• Own the CRO and lab-partner ingestion-template product and the auto-matching UX
• Drive dataset-level provenance, sensitivity tagging, and field-of-use governance
• Design experiment-integration API schemas in partnership with the BioSim and ChemSim teams
• Own the federated data-management product that enables IP-safe data sharing across partners
• Define and track metrics including time-to-usable per dataset, auto-match accuracy, and lineage completeness

Required qualifications

• 5+ years in product management, with depth in data platforms or data governance
• Hands-on familiarity with ETL/ELT pipelines, data catalogs, and provenance / lineage tracking
• Track record designing developer-facing data APIs and ingestion tooling
• Experience defining data governance controls — access, sensitivity classification, and purpose / field-of-use restrictions
• Ability to turn ambiguous, cross-team data problems into scalable, measurable products
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

• Experience with scientific data formats (HDF5, SDF, CSV, JSON-LD)
• Understanding of federated learning and IP-sharing constraints in R&D contexts
• Ability to design experiences that are consumable both by research scientists and agents
• Knowledge of regulated data governance (HIPAA, FedRAMP, GDPR, SOC 2, GxP / 21 CFR Part 11)
• Experience supporting audit, evidence-export, or compliance-attestation workflows
• Familiarity with the drug-discovery or materials-research data lifecycle
• MBA or equivalent business experience

Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Performance-based incentives or bonuses (where applicable)
• Equity participation
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents with generous employer premium contributions
• Retirement savings with company matching
