About the role
AI coding agents now write code 100x faster than humans can review it, but new bottlenecks mean companies aren't shipping as fast as their agents can write code. We believe the major bottleneck is correctness, and it’s shifting from human code review to continuous, production-grounded validation at every stage of software delivery.
Responsibilities, requirements, fit, evidence and preparation are organized here. The original posting stays available for final verification.
What they’re looking for
Select a requirement to inspect fit, evidence or application context.
- 6+ years of product management (or 4+ with a deep technical background), with meaningful time on developer tools, CI/CD, observability, or SRE/platform products.
- You've shipped an LLM or agentic product: you know what good evals look like, how to debug nondeterministic systems, and how to weigh cost, latency, and quality tradeoffs in production.
- You use AI coding agents daily and have strong opinions about what releasing software means two to three years from now.
- Deep SDLC fluency: PR workflows, CI systems, deployment strategies (canary, blue-green, feature flags, progressive rollout), and production signals (traces, logs, RUM, synthetics, error tracking).
- You're at your best when the problem is still ambiguous.
- You're an exceptional writer and speaker. We write, sharpen, and defend our narratives continuously, often to executive audiences.
Helpful, not always essential
- Background as a software engineer, SRE, or platform engineer.
- Experience with sandboxed code execution, test generation, or replay systems.
- Exposure to a broader set of tooling and signals like product analytics, session replays, APM or RUM.
Conditions
- Bits Release is an early-stage product that carries every change through the release lifecycle: it reviews the code, validates the change before merge, follows the rollout through staging and production, detects regressions, simulates and proposes fixes, and converts what it catches into permanent safeguards.
