About Phaidra

Phaidra builds AI agents for AI factories, helping data center operators optimize compute, power, cooling, and maintenance for greater performance, reliability, and efficiency. Backed by Index.

About the role

You will partner with the CPO to develop and drive the product strategy and roadmap that establishes Prism as the agentic operating platform for the data center — spanning diagnostics, triage, and the broader intelligence layer operators and executives depend on.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of technical product management experience, including leading large, complex, cross-functional initiatives
  • Comfortable spending significant time directly with customers or end users, and treats that time as core product work, not a distraction from it
  • Track record of helping take a product from point solution toward platform — or contributing to a platform, integration, or data-surface product
  • Exceptional ability to translate customer needs into strategic product direction and to sequence an ambitious vision into fundable steps
  • Deep expertise in prioritization frameworks and product decision-making under uncertainty
  • Strong technical acumen, including system architecture, integrations/APIs, and data platforms
More about this role

Phaidra is building the future of industrial automation.

The world today is filled with static, monolithic infrastructure. Factories, power plants, buildings, etc. operate the same they've operated for decades — because the controls programming is hard-coded. Thousands of lines of rules and heuristics that define how the machines interact with each other. The result of all this hard-coding is that facilities are frozen in time, unable to adapt to their environment while their performance slowly degrades.

Phaidra creates AI-powered control systems for the industrial sector, enabling industrial facilities to automatically learn and improve over time. Specifically:

  • We use reinforcement learning algorithms to provide this intelligence, converting raw sensor data into high-value actions and decisions.
  • We focus on industrial applications, which tend to be well-sensorized with measurable KPIs — perfect for reinforcement learning.
  • We enable domain experts (our users) to configure the AI control systems (i.e. agents) without writing code. They define what they want their AI agents to do, and we do it for them.

Our team has a track record of applying AI to some of the toughest...
