Research Product Manager (RPM)
ABOUT ABUNDANT
Abundant is an applied research lab focused on scaling reinforcement learning for safe and reliable agentic capabilities. We are an extremely talent-dense team of researchers, roboticists, founders, and operators whose work includes the Waymo Driver.
THE ROLE
Research PM (RPM) is a role unique to Abundant. RPMs are PMs of the model, unlike traditional PMs who own an application or a feature. RPMs design and implement model capabilities, either as part of an AI lab, data lab, or other research organization. This is a founding-level role with outsized ownership.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Co-design capabilities of the model: define areas of improvement for the model, along with the Researcher.
Perform literature review: headroom analysis, identifying recent work in academic and industry circles.
Run experiments and benchmarks: using our internal simulation stack and our open source tooling such as Oddish to define and hillclimb on the vertical.
