Product Manager, Marketplace

ABOUT HUD

HUD https://www.hud.ai/'s mission is to build reliable, fair and open infrastructure for AI data. We want data to be valuable for the people who create it and trustworthy for the labs that train on it. Our team is a quickly growing group of researchers, engineers and operators building the economy that shapes what AI will become. Backed by $16M from top VCs and YC (W25), our marketplace and platform are used by startups, Fortune 500 companies and frontier labs.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking a Product Manager to own product work for our data marketplace. You’ll make it easier for data vendors to bring high-quality RL environments and training data to HUD, and for research teams to discover, evaluate, and use them. You’ll work closely with engineering, research, and GTM to turn technical and operational needs into product decisions.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Own the marketplace product lifecycle, from understanding vendor and buyer needs through prioritization, launch, and iteration

- Improve how vendors onboard, submit work, understand quality feedback, and manage their offerings on HUD

- Improve how research teams discover, assess, and access environments and training data that meet their needs

- Work with engineering, research, GTM, and operations to turn complex requirements and manual processes into reliable platform workflows

- Define and track measures of marketplace health, product adoption, and user experience; use feedback and product data to decide what to build next

EXPERIENCE

You may be a good fit if you have:

- Experience owning a live software product from discovery through launch and iteration

- Strong product judgment and the ability to simplify technically complex workflows for users

- Experience talking directly with users, identifying the problem behind a request, and turning what you learn into clear priorities

- Ability to balance user needs, business impact, and engineering constraints when making product decisions

- Comfort using qualitative feedback and quantitative signals to assess whether a product change worked

- Clear written communication and the ability to bring engineers and other partners together around decisions in an ambiguous environment

Strong candidates may also have:

- Experience with marketplaces or products serving two distinct groups of users

- Familiarity with AI training data, evaluations, and RL environments

- Experience building a product function or establishing product practices on a growing team

- Early-stage startup experience and strong communication skills for collaboration across teams and time zones

We prioritize technical aptitude and learning potential over years of experience. Motivated candidates are encouraged to apply even if they don't meet all criteria.
