Senior Product Manager – Enterprise Search

Search is the connective tissue of the employee experience: it is what makes Magnus's answers trustworthy and what makes the Simpplr platform feel intelligent. You'll be responsible for the end-to-end search experience — from how content is ingested, chunked, and indexed, to how it is retrieved, ranked, and grounded into high-quality, permission-aware answers via retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

You'll work closely with AI engineers, search/ML engineers, data scientists, designers, and cross-functional teams to deliver a search foundation that is fast, relevant, and enterprise-grade. This role requires strong technical fluency in modern search and AI concepts — indexing, chunking, embeddings, vector and hybrid retrieval, ranking, and RAG — along with the product judgment to translate them into measurable customer outcomes.

Your job responsibilities: what you will be doing

• Own the roadmap for enterprise search across Magnus and the Simpplr platform, defining a clear vision for relevance, freshness, coverage, and trust — including product requirements, user stories, and success metrics for conversational (Magnus) and traditional search experiences.
• Own the strategy for unstructured and structured data ingestion, partnering with search/ML and AI engineers on parsing, chunking, and embedding pipelines that improve search relevance and retrieval accuracy.
• Drive retrieval architecture decisions — lexical, semantic/vector, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, filtering, and permission-aware retrieval — balancing relevance, latency, and cost.
• Define how retrieved content is grounded into answers through RAG — context assembly, chunk selection, citations, and hallucination mitigation.
• Establish evaluation frameworks for search and RAG quality (golden query sets, offline/online evals, LLM-as-a-judge) and standards for reliability, latency, monitoring, and cost optimization.
• Ensure end-to-end security — permission scoping, document-level access, tenant isolation — and serve as the enterprise search SME, partnering with CS, Sales, Support, and Marketing to drive adoption.

Your skillset: what makes you a great fit for the team

• Bachelor's/advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field, with 5+ years of enterprise SaaS product management, including 2+ years focused on search, information retrieval, or AI/ML products.
• Deep technical fluency across the search stack: ingestion, chunking, indexing, embeddings, vector databases, and lexical/semantic/hybrid retrieval trade-offs.
• Solid grasp of LLM and RAG mechanics — context assembly, grounding, citations, and chunk selection strategies for accurate, low-hallucination answers.
• Experience building and operating evaluation frameworks and search product metrics (relevance, precision/recall, latency, adoption, business impact) to drive continuous iteration.
• Working knowledge of enterprise security and permission-aware retrieval — access controls, tenant isolation, and data governance in multi-tenant SaaS.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, able to translate complex search/AI concepts into scalable roadmaps for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

We'd especially like to hear from you if:

• You've built or owned enterprise search, knowledge retrieval, or RAG-powered experiences within enterprise collaboration or SaaS applications.
• You have hands-on experience with search platforms and technologies — Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, Solr/Lucene, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), or managed enterprise search services.
• You've designed relevance-tuning workflows, feedback loops, or evaluation systems that continuously improve search and RAG quality in production.
• You're excited about AI-native work experiences and making enterprise knowledge instantly findable and trustworthy through assistants like Magnus.
