About the role Every enterprise is racing to build AI-powered apps and agents but speed without the right runtime creates chaos, not transformation. Sigma is the AI Runtime Environment that makes those apps governable, scalable, and real, and the Sr. PMM, Sigma Apps will play a critical role in developing and executing the go-to-market narrative and strategy for Sigma Apps. This role requires someone who understands both sides of the enterprise software conversation: the IT leaders and data engineers who evaluate and govern application infrastructure, and the line-of-business owners who care about outcomes, speed, and usability. You'll translate Sigma's application development capabilities into stories that resonate with both and create the materials the sales team needs to tell those stories in the field. What you'll do Develop and maintain positioning and messaging for Sigma Apps including no-code app building, AI-assisted workflow automation, embedded analytics, and apps built with external coding agents working closely with the Director of Product Marketing, Apps and the Product team. Support new feature launches and capability expansions, coordinating across product, design, marketing, and sales to bring new capabilities to market clearly and effectively. Work closely with Product and Engineering to deeply understand and influence the Sigma Apps roadmap bringing market, customer, and competitive insights that help shape and prioritize it. Partner with sales reps and the Enablement team to understand what's working in the field and use those insights to sharpen messaging, update battlecards, and improve enablement materials. Partner with the Enablement team to build and maintain sales enablement content solution briefs, pitch decks, use case guides, competitive comparisons, and discovery question frameworks that help the field confidently sell Sigma Apps Build and maintain competitive analysis and battlecards for the no-code/low-code, embedded anal

About the role The world is moving fast — and AI is moving faster. As a Product Marketing Manager focused on AI at Sigma, you'll be at the tip of the spear, helping define how we tell the story of one of the most exciting areas of the product. This role is as much about clarity as it is about creativity: you'll take complex, fast-evolving AI capabilities and distill them into the market messages, sales narratives, and customer stories that make people say "I get it — and I want it." We're looking for someone with genuine intellectual curiosity about AI, a bias for action, and exceptional instincts for what makes a message land. If you can absorb a lot of information quickly, find the signal in the noise, and write messaging that moves people — this role is for you. What you'll do Develop and refine positioning and messaging for Sigma's AI features, working closely with the Director of Product Marketing, AI and the Product team. Create sales enablement content — one-pagers, battlecards, demo guides, and objection handlers — that help the field confidently sell Sigma's AI capabilities. Support product launches for AI features: coordinate across product, design, marketing, and sales to bring new capabilities to market clearly and effectively. Research competitors' AI positioning and identify opportunities to sharpen Sigma's differentiation. Write and contribute to thought leadership content, blog posts, and customer-facing collateral that educate the market on Sigma's AI vision. Gather and synthesize customer and prospect insights — from win/loss data, customer interviews, and sales calls — to continuously improve messaging. Partner with demand generation and content teams to ensure AI messaging is consistently represented across campaigns, website, and events. What we're looking for 3+ years of product marketing experience in B2B enterprise software and/or cloud data platforms. The ability to learn quickly and deeply — you can get up to speed on a new te

Here's a summary of the role: Identity infrastructure is not glamourware . It doesn't get standing ovations at company all-hands. But it is the thing every product in the portfolio depends on, and when it breaks, everyone knows. If you're the kind of PM who finds that genuinely interesting, read on. This role is for someone who has lived inside SAML flows, argued over PKCE token lifetimes, and knows exactly why SSO bypass lists are a necessary compromise. You'll own the authentication platform that thousands of enterprise customers trust, and you'll shape it alongside engineers who go deep. No surface-level roadmap ownership here. Here's a breakdown of what you'll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Own the product strategy and roadmap for core authentication flows: SAML 2.0, OIDC/OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, MFA enforcement, token lifecycle management, and multi-IdP federation. Make product decisions that sit at the intersection of system design, security architecture, and developer experience, working directly with senior engineers on protocol choices and infrastructure trade-offs. Drive adoption of platform identity capabilities across internal engineering teams through influence, moving products toward modern API patterns and away from legacy integration surfaces. Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to prototype ideas and validate concepts before you pitch them; this is expected, not optional. Track the IAM standards landscape, including passkeys, FIDO2, SCIM, zero-trust, and verifiable credentials, and use that knowledge to sharpen product direction. Translate complex authentication concepts (JWT structures, SAML assertions, PKCE handshakes) into clear specs, user stories, and prioritized backlogs for audiences from engineers to executives. These are the essentials you'll ne

About Scale AI At Scale, our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions. Our products provide the high-quality data and full-stack technologies that power the world's leading models, and help enterprises and governments build, deploy, and oversee AI applications that deliver real impact. Scale Frontier Data is the organization behind the training and evaluation data that frontier labs depend on. We build the systems, tooling, and expert workflows that turn hard human expertise into signals that models can learn from, across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, and domain expertise. Reinforcement learning environments are now the center of gravity for that work: the difference between a model that demos well and a model that reliably completes long-horizon work is almost always the quality of the environments and reward signals it was trained against. Responsibilities As a Staff Software Engineer, RL Environments, you'll own the technical foundation for how Scale builds, runs, verifies, and delivers RL environments at scale. An RL environment is a real piece of software: a containerized world with real dependencies, real state, real tools, and a grader that has to be correct even when the agent is creative about breaking it. Building one is a full-stack engineering problem. Building thousands of them reproducibly, cheaply, with trustworthy reward signals and throughput measured in millions of rollouts is a systems problem that very few people have solved. You'll work on both. You'll design the platform: sandboxed execution, environment packaging and versioning, rollout orchestration, trajectory capture, verifier frameworks, and the authoring surfaces that let engineers and domain experts produce environments without reinventing infrastructure each time. And you'll go deep on the environments themselves by instrumenting real applications, designing task suites that expose specific capability gaps, and building graders that
