- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Compensation:** $200k–$250k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-09-10

## Job description

Pangram is hiring its first Product Manager to join the team and own the product function from end-to-end.

Pangram is the world’s most accurate AI detection technology and a top-class research organization. We are now looking for someone to translate our research and our AI models into compelling products that make it easy for people to interact with in their work and in their lives across many different product surfaces. We have many surfaces for a small team: a web dashboard, Chrome extension, integrations, an API, and more to come.

You will work directly with the founders and engineers, talk to our customers regularly, and make calls about how to allocate our limited engineering resources. We are looking for someone that has made hard decisions and can clearly reason about tradeoffs.

## The Role

- Set product direction across Pangram’s surfaces: decide what new features to build, what to cut, and in what order
- Scope and prioritize engineering work, and strategize on how to translate your product vision into clearly defined design and engineering specs
- Run launches end-to-end, including planning, cross-functional coordination, GTM handoff, and post-launch action items
- Own customer feedback and request triage
- Talk to users constantly and use that feedback to inform product decisions
- Lead the product sync and coordinate engineering, growth, and leadership

## Requirements

- 5 years in product management with at least one product you’ve owned outright
- Consumer or prosumer experience. B2B experience is welcome but not sufficient on its own.
- Technical fluency: need to be fluent with how AI and technical teams work but you don’t need to have been an engineer or have experience writing code
- Proficiency with AI automation and design tools
- Comfort and experience talking with customers

## Nice to have

- Experience in early stage startups as an early or founding PM
- Experience with developer platforms, browser extensions, or education/edtech

## About Pangram Labs

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Pangram Labs builds an AI detection platform that identifies AI-generated content with high accuracy, serving educational institutions and enterprises to maintain content authenticity.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed Stage)
- **Headquarters**: Brooklyn, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Max Spero (CEO) and Bradley Emi (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI Detection, Content Authenticity, Cybersecurity
- **Target customers**: B2B – universities, schools, publishers, law firms, HR departments, foundations, and enterprise organizations
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "To mitigate new issues caused by the proliferation of powerful generative AI models" and "rebuild trust amidst the increase in generative AI content" [pangram.com](https://www.pangram.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Pangram AI Detector**: A SaaS platform that detects AI-generated text from all major LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, etc.) with 99.98% accuracy and a false positive rate of 1 in 10,000. Supports 20+ languages.
- **Plagiarism Checker**: Integrated plagiarism detection in a single tool alongside AI detection.
- **AI Segment Analysis**: Highlights sections of text that were AI-generated versus AI-assisted (edited by AI).
- **API**: Programmatic access for high-volume enterprise and developer use cases.
- **LMS Integrations**: Works with Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom, Brightspace, and other learning management systems.
- **Chrome Extension & Google Docs Integration**: Browser-based detection for web content and documents.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed

  - Monthly employee growth of 10.5%
  - Independently verified by researchers at University of Chicago and University of Maryland
  - Detects outputs from unreleased AI models and humanized/AI-assisted text
  - Active job postings increased 16.7% quarterly (7 open roles)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary technology**: Uses its own deep learning models trained on diverse datasets, not open-source or commercial LLMs — giving it a unique detection methodology.
- **Lowest false positive rate**: 1 in 10,000 (0.01%), independently verified by third-party researchers, significantly outperforming competitors.
- **Detects humanized text**: Can identify AI content even after it has been processed by evasion tools.
- **Founding team pedigree**: Founders are AI researchers from Tesla Autopilot, Google, Nuro, and Absci, with graduate degrees from Stanford.
- **Peer-reviewed research**: Active contributions to the AI detection research community.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expand enterprise and education market**: Targeting universities, publishers, law firms, and HR departments.
- **Continuous model improvement**: Regularly releasing new detection model versions (e.g., Pangram 3.3.2) to keep pace with evolving LLMs.
- **Multilingual capabilities**: Expanding detection to 20+ languages for global adoption.
- **Product differentiation**: Moving beyond simple binary detection to nuanced analysis (AI generation vs. AI assistance vs. human writing).

## Why Work Here
- **Founding team from top AI labs**: Work alongside former Tesla Autopilot, Google, Nuro, and Absci researchers — a steep learning environment.
- **Mission-driven**: Directly tackling one of the most pressing problems of the generative AI era — content authenticity and trust.
- **Fast-growing startup**: 162.5% headcount growth in the last year, with 7 active job openings across engineering, ML, research, and operations.
- **Research culture**: Active publication and peer-reviewed research; engineers and researchers contribute to the broader AI community.
- **Office location**: Based in Brooklyn, New York (likely hybrid/office-first culture given startup stage).
- **Open roles include**: Senior Software Engineer (Backend), Machine Learning Engineer, AI Research Scientist, Full-Stack Engineer, and Executive Assistant — indicating a broad, growing team.
