Sr. Product Manager - AI Platform

Description  Powered by AI, Vantaca's vision is big! We are the leading AI-native community management performance platform that enables owners and operators, community management teams, boards and associations to work smarter, faster, and with unprecedented insight. More than just accounting and management software, Vantaca is intelligent business operating software that leverages artificial intelligence to automate routine work, surface actionable insights, and help our customers increase revenue, efficiency, flexibility, and control.  Built on modern cloud architecture with a single-platform design, Vantaca combines comprehensive functionality that adapts to 100% of business processes with AI-powered automation that learns and improves over time. Our proactive AI capabilities don't just report on what happened; they predict what's coming and recommend what to do next. From intelligent document processing and predictive analytics to automated workflows and conversational interfaces, we're transforming how community management companies operate.  With seamless integrations across the software and banking ecosystem, we're building the intelligent hub for community management where AI doesn't just assist, it anticipates. Vantaca is focused exclusively on community management and is the trusted technology leader defining the AI-powered future of the community association management industry. We're building something fundamentally different, and our customers are experiencing the competitive advantage that comes from working with truly intelligent software.  Vantaca just achieved unicorn status with a $1.25B valuation, so it's safe to say we're past the "scrappy startup phase." We're not just building a successful company—we're building the category-defining platform that will transform how an entire industry operates.  Overview  As the Senior Product Manager for Vantaca's platform , you will be responsible for the strategy, roadmap, development, and delivery of the intelligent platform capabilities that power our AI-native product suite. We are looking for someone who is deeply knowledgeable about modern platform architecture and eager to leverage AI to fundamentally transform how we build, deploy, and scale software. You'll work at the intersection of platform engineering and AI innovation, ensuring our infrastructure enables real-time AI capabilities, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation at scale.  Your internal customers are product managers and engineers building AI-powered features who depend on you to create platform capabilities that accelerate innovation rather than create bottlenecks. This means designing for sub-second inference latency, event-driven AI orchestration, and architectural patterns that allow AI to anticipate rather than react.  We expect our product managers to be passionate about understanding the needs of our users—in this case, internal engineering and product teams—and turning that empathy into exceptional platform experiences. Our PMs leverage cutting-edge AI tools daily, as you will have access to the latest AI platforms and the autonomy to experiment with emerging tools that make you more effective. You will work collaboratively with platform engineers, data scientists, and product counterparts to develop a deep understanding of platform requirements, develop a strategy for near-term and long-term platform evolution, and then work closely with our engineering team to take the right ideas from concept to final delivery.  Responsibilities  

• Evolve and drive the product vision and strategy for Platform, ensuring that it aligns with Vantaca's AI-native company goals, technical requirements, and customer needs. 
• Use quantitative and qualitative methods to identify platform bottlenecks, performance patterns, and technical debt, then translate these insights into a prioritized roadmap that enables AI innovation velocity. 
• Regularly evaluate and incorporate new opportunities for platform modernization, like emerging AI infrastructure technologies, cloud-native patterns, and development tooling. 
• Define and track milestones, metrics, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor platform health and adoption, leveraging AI tools to analyze system performance, identify anomalies, and generate actionable insights from telemetry data. 
• Collaborate with platform engineers to develop best-in-class developer experiences, using AI prototyping tools to rapidly test architectural patterns and validate technical approaches before committing to full implementation. 
• Stay consistently curious about our internal customers and their needs, regularly conducting interviews with product teams, engineering retrospectives, and technical discovery sessions to ensure that the platform supports their most pressing requirements. 
• Partner with AI/ML teams to identify high-impact opportunities
