Senior Product Manager at Recursion leading agentic science product development for drug discovery. Translates scientific workflows into agent task definitions, designs benchmarks, and ensures agents meaningfully accelerate discovery pipelines.
The Impact You’ll Make
Recursion is leading an era of autonomous science – iterating across the discovery process, leveraging machine learning and agents built-for-purpose to uncover novel insights across biology and chemistry, fueling our clinical-stage pipeline. As the Senior Product Manager for Agentic Science, you will sit at the intersection of drug discovery and AI, serving as the critical translator between our scientific teams and the agentic systems they depend on. Your primary focus will be on outcomes: ensuring our agents impact Recursion’s pipeline through demonstrably accelerating discovery.
This role is not about maintaining a static roadmap; it is about navigating the frontier of a rapidly evolving field. You will partner closely with drug discovery scientists to understand their workflows, translate their needs into agent task definitions, and design and maintain the benchmarks that -ensure our agents are driving value. As the field evolves rapidly, you will help the team distinguish real scientific progress from superficially promising results.
In this role, you will:
The Team You’ll Join
You will join a cross-functional team of software engineers, data scientists, AI/ML scientists and drug discovery biologists and chemists who build the technical bedrock that enables autonomous science, including agent orchestration, guardrails, and the connectivity between our digital and physical assets. You will work closely with the Discovery teams (the users of these agents), the AI Research teams (who build cutting-edge models), and our automated biology and chemistry lab teams (who generate the data that feeds into the models).
The Experience You’ll Need
Communication & Influence: Strong written and oral skills to align diverse stakeholders (PhDs in Biology, ML and software engineers, AI Researchers) around a unified technical vision.
Working Location & Compensation:
This is an office-based, hybrid position at one of our offices in either Salt Lake City, Utah or New York City, New York. Employees are expected to work in the office at least 50% of the time.
