Our domain Product VPs build world-class capabilities for Planning, Manufacturing, Logistics, and Intelligence. Our Product Leads work directly with customers to discover new workflows and validate them through rapid prototypes. You turn those discoveries into the platform every one of them stands on. As Principal Product Manager, Platform Experience, you own strategy, roadmap, and execution for a significant portion of Auger's Core Platform: the shared capabilities every customer relies on regardless of which supply chain solutions they deploy. You transform validated customer innovations into scalable platform capabilities and production-quality software. Done well, customers immediately understand what the platform knows, why it made a recommendation, what actions it took, and what value it created, and every capability feels native to Auger no matter which team built it. ## What You'll Do - Strategy, roadmap, and execution for core shared platform capabilities, including conversational AI and chat, report building, navigation and information architecture, search, notifications, identity and user management, shared workflows, cross-product experiences, and product language and interaction standards. - Proactive identification of opportunities to expand reusable platform capabilities, simplify complex workflows, and improve consistency across the platform, driving investments independently that strengthen the customer experience and let Product Leads move faster. - Own the product experience end to end, in close partnership with Design: interaction models, information architecture, product language, and shared workflows aligned with Auger's design system and standards, so every capability feels like part of one cohesive product. - Productization of validated concepts: refine interaction models, eliminate customer-specific complexity, establish scalable product requirements, partner with engineering through implementation, and hold every capability to Auger's quality bar before it reaches customers. - Pattern recognition across customer solutions, turning one-off capabilities into reusable platform investments that benefit multiple products and customers at once. When this work goes well, engineering builds against well-defined platform capabilities instead of reinventing common experiences, Product Leads innovate rapidly because the path from prototype to production is clear, and customers describe Auger as surprisingly simple despite the complexity of the problems it solves. ## What You Bring - A track record of building software customers genuinely love using, with product taste that goes well beyond visual design: information architecture, interaction models, AI experiences, and the countless decisions that make sophisticated software feel effortless. - Proven ability to transform early customer concepts into scalable platform capabilities without losing what made them compelling in the first place. - High self-direction in ambiguous environments. You don't wait for requirements. You identify opportunities and drive initiatives from concept through launch. - Comfort leading conversations across customers, designers, engineers, executives, and Product Leads, with the judgment to know when to invest in reusable platform capabilities versus leverage existing patterns, and how to balance customer needs against long-term platform evolution. - An obsession with clarity, simplicity, consistency, and trust. You believe enterprise software should be as intuitive as the best consumer products while retaining the power to run global operations. - As Auger grows, new ideas will continuously emerge from customers, and new capabilities will be built across multiple product organizations at once. This role ensures the platform keeps evolving through scalable, reusable capabilities that preserve one coherent customer experience while accelerating innovation. ## About Auger ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Auger is building the world’s first autonomous operating system for supply chain operations, collapsing the gap between signal and execution with AI-powered automation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Bellevue, Washington, USA - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Dave Clark (Founder & CEO), Leigh Anne Clark (Co-Founder and President, Fashion and Beauty) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Supply Chain Technology, Enterprise AI, Logistics Software - **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (large-scale supply chain operators, retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers) - **Mission or purpose statement**: "To eliminate the Coordination Tax that traps enterprises in manual silos and fragmented systems. To make superhuman operations available to every enterprise ready to lead." ## Products & Services - **The Autonomous Operating System**: A unified AI-powered platform that integrates with existing enterprise systems to provide real-time intelligence, cross-system synchronization, and autonomous execution of routine supply chain tasks (demand shifts, lead time management, capacity planning, scheduling). The system turns messy data into executable truth, allowing operators to move from firefighting to strategic work. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $400M across three rounds (Seed, Series A, Series A extension) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Oak HC/FT (lead investor in initial $100M Series A) - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew **223.9% YoY** (from ~26 to 129 employees) - LinkedIn follower count grew **74.5% YoY** (currently 12,855) - Active job postings: 17 (up 88.9% YoY) - Major talent pipeline from Amazon (26 hires), Microsoft (9), AWS (7), Meta (4) ## Competitive Advantages - **Founder pedigree**: Led by Dave Clark, former CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business — deep operational credibility at global scale. - **"Living Ontology" approach**: Not layering AI on top of broken legacy systems, but building a unified data fabric across the entire enterprise. - **Consumer-grade UX**: Makes complex supply chain tasks accessible through simple, intuitive interfaces (e.g., natural language queries for inventory insights). - **Team composition**: 53% of employees in technical roles; includes a Chief AI and Agentic Scientist, Chief Supply Chain Scientist, and Chief AI Economist — rare depth of domain AI expertise. ## Strategic Focus - **Autonomous execution**: Replacing the "speed of consensus" (manual coordination, meetings, spreadsheets) with real-time, automated reflexes. - **Sustainability**: Positioning autonomous execution as the architecture for sustainable scaling — reducing excess inventory, expedited shipments, and waste. - **Expanding beyond supply chain**: The company states it will expand "wherever coordination breaks down," suggesting a platform play across adjacent operational domains. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Described as a "pioneering venture" with a human-centered approach to solving broken supply chains. The team is composed of operators who "have lived the consequences" — late nights, impossible trade-offs — and are building to eliminate that pain for others. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: In-office roles (e.g., Strategic BDR listed as "In-Office"). HQ in Bellevue, WA, with additional offices in Clyde Hill, WA and Bellevue, WA. - **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Heavy investment in deep technical talent (AI, data science, supply chain science). Emphasis on moving from "firefighting to reinvention." Backed by top-tier VC with substantial runway ($400M total funding). Strong pipeline of ex-Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta engineers. ## Sources 1.
