Description

About Artos:

At Artos, we build tools that help biopharma companies create and manage their R&D documentation in a fraction of the time. If you’re looking to join a team whose mission is to fundamentally change the way that drug development gets done, we’d love to talk to you.

Responsibilities

• We’re looking for a technically strong Product Manager to help drive the development, delivery, and continuous improvement of the Artos platform.
• You’ll work closely with our founders, Engineering, and customer-facing teams to translate product requirements into well-defined, tested, and production-ready functionality.
• This is a hands-on role combining product management with technical project management. You’ll help define requirements, coordinate development, establish product analytics, and ensure that what we build delivers meaningful customer outcomes.
• You’ll also help establish the processes that support how we develop software, bringing structure and visibility to a fast-moving engineering organization without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Own the product lifecycle for assigned features, from requirements and development through testing, validation, and release.
• Partner with Engineering and customer-facing teams to translate product ideas and customer needs into clear specifications and acceptance criteria.
• Work with our founders and technical leadership to support product prioritization and translate strategic direction into executable development plans.
• Coordinate feature testing, ensuring the right stakeholders, datasets, and validation criteria are in place.
• Define and implement product analytics to measure adoption, evaluate feature performance, and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Track features, bugs, dependencies, blockers, and outstanding decisions across the development lifecycle.
• Maintain clear product documentation, testing results, known limitations, and release notes.
• Establish lightweight, repeatable processes that improve collaboration, accountability, and visibility across teams.

• Previous hands-on experience as a software engineer.
• Experience building and shipping B2B software products as a Product Manager.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including requirements, development, testing, and release.
• Technical fluency and the ability to engage meaningfully with engineers on architecture, APIs, data, and technical trade-offs.
• Experience translating ambiguous requirements into structured, actionable development plans.
• Experience defining product metrics and using analytics and customer feedback to drive improvements.
• Strong organizational, communication, and documentation skills.
• A bias toward ownership and the ability to drive cross-functional work through completion.
• Comfort operating in an early-stage startup where priorities evolve and processes are still being built.
• Experience building AI-native or LLM-powered enterprise products.
• Familiarity with LLMs, RAG, AI agents, or evaluation frameworks.
• Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, life sciences, or other highly regulated industries.
• Previous startup or founder experience.
• Experience establishing product development processes within an early-stage company.
• You’ll Be Successful If:
• Engineering has clearer requirements, features are consistently tested and validated, product decisions are supported by meaningful data, and teams have better visibility into development.
• Most importantly, you’ll help Artos build a more efficient and scalable product development organization while ensuring the functionality we ship delivers real value to our customers.
• Other Information:
• Very comfortable working in a fast-paced and intense startup environment
• Willing to work in-person in our office in Mission Bay 4-5 days/week
• Likes matcha KitKats, believes every LLM prompt is just Schrödinger’s cat waiting to be observed, and knows too many random facts about the Mongol postal system
• Experience: 5+ years
• Visa: US citizen/visa only
