Traversal is the AI SRE that triages alerts, finds root cause, and resolves incidents at petabyte scale. Trusted by American Express, PepsiCo, and DigitalOcean. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia.
About the role
Traversal is building a superintelligent AI SRE: always-on AI employees, used daily by hundreds of engineers at the world's largest companies during their highest-pressure moments. At the core are the agents and AI capabilities our engineering and research teams build. As a Product Manager at Traversal, you'll build the product on top of them: how the agent behaves, what it does, how it communicates, when it should act, and the user interfaces / product experiences built around it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of combined work experience across product management, engineering, or similar role, including at least 2 years as a PM
- Strong taste in both UI design and headless experiences, and judgment about when to use each
- An excellent writer: concise, clear docs, agent prompts that elicit exactly the behavior you want, and clear customer comms
- High agency: you do whatever the product needs, with or without a playbook. You build and ship things yourself, bring prototypes (not just PRDs) to product reviews, ship and iterate fast, and create structure where there isn't any
- Exceptional with customers: credible with senior engineers at large enterprises
More about this role
Traversal is the AI Site Reliability Engineer (AI SRE) for the enterprise.
Production complexity was already outpacing what engineering teams could manage manually, and AI-generated code is accelerating that gap. Traversal is built for that challenge, autonomously understanding and reasoning across even the largest, most complex production environments to diagnose, fix, and prevent incidents. Our mission is to free engineers from endless firefighting and give them more time to focus on creative, high-impact work.
Today, Traversal operates in mission-critical environments at some of the world’s largest enterprises, including PepsiCo, Nubank, Harvey, and DigitalOcean. Our roots remain deeply embedded in AI research, and we’ve brought together researchers from institutions including MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Columbia, and Cornell with world-class technical staff and operators from companies like Google, Meta, Datadog, ServiceNow, and Citadel Securities to take on one of the hardest problems for AI to solve. Traversal is backed by Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint Ventures, and Khosla Ventures.
