Staff Product Manager, Agentic Systems

Recursion is a clinical-stage TechBio company focused on improving lives through advanced drug discovery. As the Staff Product Manager for Agentic Systems, you will define technical capabilities and partner with engineering leadership to enhance autonomous science and drug discovery processes.

Responsibilities:

• Define the Architecture for Autonomy: Partner with engineering leadership to scope and build the systems that connect our in silico models (the "brain") with our physical automated labs (the "body"), enabling closed-loop, autonomous discovery
• Drive Hypothesis-Driven Product Development: Lead cycles of experimentation to test different agentic frameworks. You will embrace ambiguity, helping the team decide when to build durable shared services and when to build rapid, throw-away prototypes to learn what works
• Operate as a Translator: Bridge the gap between "wet lab" realities and "dry lab" possibilities. You will translate the needs of drug discovery programs into technical requirements for agent reasoning, ensuring our systems optimize for information gain rather than just volume
• Evangelize the "Human-in-the-loop" Evolution: Work with scientific stakeholders to define interfaces where humans review, validate, and shape agent reasoning, ensuring our scientists evolve from "operators" to "architects" of discovery
