Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent - but also informed. We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI - from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world. About Nebius: Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure. Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI. Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D. The Role: We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our Agentic Search team, building the search and retrieval infrastructure that powers AI agents and LLM-based applications at scale. This is a hands-on IC role with real ownership. You will take full end-to-end responsibility over a core product area, from defining strategy through shipping and iterating based on real usage data. You will work within a small PM team reporting to the Director of Product, alongside engineering, design, and go-to-market, shaping how AI agents discover, retrieve, and act on web information in real time. The product serves both a developer-facing PLG motion and a growing enterprise customer base, so you will need to be equally comfortable digging into API design and search quality as you are running customer discovery calls and informing competitive positioning. We are looking for someone who can operate as a senior strategic partner, not just an executor, and who has the potential to grow into a principal-level PM over time. You’re welcome to work hybrid from Tel Aviv, Israel. Your responsibilities will include: - Own a core product area end-to-end: strategy, roadmap, execution, and iteration based on real usage signals and customer feedback. - Drive search quality and relevance improvements by working closely with engineering and research to define evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, and release criteria. - Engage directly with enterprise customers and developer users to validate ideas, understand pain points, and shape product-market fit across both PLG and enterprise motions. - Monitor the competitive landscape in agentic search and AI-powered retrieval, identifying shifts, threats, and opportunities that should inform product decisions. - Collaborate with go-to-market teams (sales, solutions, growth) to ensure product positioning, ICP definitions, and enablement materials reflect product reality. - Contribute to product strategy as a senior voice on a small, high-impact team, challenging assumptions and bringing independent judgment to key decisions. - Lead product experiments and rapid iteration cycles, moving from hypothesis to prototype to production with clear success criteria. We expect you to have: - 5+ years of product management experience, with a meaningful portion in developer tools, API platforms, or search and retrieval infrastructure. - Track record of shipping products in fast-moving markets, working closely with engineering and design from concept through launch and iteration. - Strong understanding of LLMs, AI agents, and how search and retrieval systems fit into agentic workflows. Hands-on technical background is a strong plus. - Degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, with the ability to engage deeply with technical architecture and tradeoffs. - Comfortable operating in ambiguity: you can context-switch between strategic thinking and tactical execution without losing the thread. - Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive alignment without formal authority. - Excellent written and verbal communication: you can explain technical concepts clearly to both engineers and business stakeholders. It will be an added bonus if you have: - Experience in search, information retrieval, NLP, or adjacent domains. - Background in API-first or developer-platform businesses with both PLG and enterprise motions. - Leadership experience in a high-growth technology company, especially post-acquisition or startup-within-a-larger-org environments. - People management or mentoring experience (building the skills of other PMs). Benefits & Perks: - Competitive compensation - Career growth and learning opportunities - Flexibility and work-life balance - Collaborative and innovative culture - Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects - International environment and talented teams What's it like to work at Tavily/Nebius: Fast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI. ## About Tavily ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Tavily provides a purpose-built search API that delivers real-time, structured web context for AI agents, enabling large language models to stay grounded and factual. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Not publicly available ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: AI infrastructure / Agentic web search - **Target customers**: B2B – developers, AI startups, and enterprises building agentic applications (e.g., enterprise data analysis, AI assistant development, academic research) - **Mission**: “To help AI agents navigate the web quickly and efficiently by shaping the context they see” [tavily.com](https://www.tavily.com/about) ## Products & Services - **Tavily Search API**: A production-grade retrieval stack that takes a natural language query, searches the live web, extracts relevant content, and returns it structured and chunked for LLMs. Features real-time search, intelligent caching, and indexing.
