In 2026, we launched Computer, the defining product for the new era of agentic AI. We’ve scaled beyond the millions of people using Perplexity every day for research, shopping, investing and curiosity into a new paradigm of using AI to transform knowledge into action.
Product Managers at Perplexity work closely with design and engineering, focusing on the native mobile experiences that bring agentic AI and search into people’s everyday lives. The ideal candidate should have strong communication and writing skills, the ability to envision innovative technology, and a willingness to reimagine work to be more efficient and creative. Ideal candidates have deep experience building exceptional mobile products: in the application, please highlight the mobile apps or platform experiences you are most proud of shipping.
The Role
The Mobile Apps team owns the end-to-end Perplexity experience across iOS and Android. This includes how users discover and onboard into the product, search and take action on the go, use voice, camera, notifications, widgets, and other native capabilities, manage subscriptions and preferences, and return to ongoing work across devices.
You will identify the highest-leverage mobile user problems, translate them into clear product direction, and partner closely with design, engineering, data science, and research to deliver experiences that feel fast, intuitive, cohesive, and dependable. This role requires strong product judgment, deep user empathy, analytical rigor, fluency in mobile platform constraints and opportunities, and an exceptional eye for detail.
What You'll Do
Anticipate opportunities for innovation and value in how people use AI on mobile.
Envision new mobile experiences and deliver a long-term vision across iOS and Android.
Understand the levers for mobile product-led growth, engagement, and retention.
Work closely with engineering and design to align product expectations with native platform capabilities and constraints.
Work with research to evaluate and steer nondeterministic models into high-value outcomes for mobile users.
Have conviction to make difficult product decisions in the face of uncertainty.
Develop a deep understanding of mobile user needs, behaviors, and friction through direct product use, qualitative research, product data, and experimentation.
Make complex AI behavior understandable and controllable on small screens through clear interaction models, thoughtful defaults, and well-designed feedback.
Drive alignment when improvements span iOS, Android, web, backend systems, or multiple teams.
Communicate product decisions, tradeoffs, progress, and learnings clearly to leadership and cross-functional partners.
Qualifications
Strong experience with product management and leadership.
Strong experience working with data and metrics.
Experience shipping and scaling high-quality consumer mobile products across iOS or Android.
Deep understanding of native mobile interaction patterns, platform capabilities, performance, and reliability.
Experience with rapid mobile prototyping, experimentation, and data visualization.
Experience building data-driven flywheels for iterative improvement.
Thrives in a small, agile team: has initiative and desire for ownership.
4+ years of product management experience.
Our Mission
Perplexity's mission is to power curiosity. Curious people are the people who drive change in the world. Driving change is a continuous cycle of learning, building, and integrating.
Learn: curious people constantly learn new things by asking more. They question the status quo in their own expertise and they constantly learn outside of it. Research is essential to them and never ending.
Build: curious people make and create things, to show the world their new answers to problems no one else ever questioned. They take action on what they've learned. Makers need tools to create their products, their companies, their reality.
Integrate: they must interact with the world as it is to drive change and adoption. True leaders do not simply build something and hope. They must have armies of agents and workers who can constantly work in millions of small ways.
Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.
