NYC Hiring Referral Event | AI PM & Forward Deployed Engineering Jobs

The best AI PM and FDE roles at frontier companies are not being filled through LinkedIn applications. They are being filled through referrals — from people who know the hiring managers, know the teams, and know exactly what these companies are actually looking for.

This event is where those referrals happen.

TechCareers.io is hosting a live, in-person referral session in New York City on August 18 for AI product managers and forward-deployed engineers who are ready to move now. We have active relationships with the hiring teams at frontier AI companies and we are using this event to match qualified candidates with the right opportunities directly.

This is an action session. Not a panel. Not a pitch night. Not a career fair where you collect business cards and never hear back.

What this event is:

→ A live referral session for AI PM and FDE candidates — we submit your profile to relevant roles on the spot

→ Direct access to TechCareers.io's referral network

→ A room full of people who are doing the same thing you are trying to do — and doing it seriously

→ The fastest in-person path to getting your profile in front of the hiring teams that matter

What this event is not:

→ An information session — if you are still deciding whether to pursue AI PM or FDE, this is not the right room yet

→ A networking happy hour — come with a purpose or unfortunately we cannot accommodate you

→ A place for curious spectators — every person in this room should be ready to be referred

What to bring:

✅ Your updated resume — printed or digital, ready to submit on the spot

✅ Your target role clearly defined — AI product manager, forward-deployed engineer, or both

✅ Your LinkedIn profile optimized and live before you walk in the door

✅ Your Claude certification status — if you have passed the Claude Certified Architect Foundations exam, bring documentation

Submit before August 18 — Do not wait until the day of:

The earlier you submit your resume the more time we have to match you to the right roles before you even walk through the door. Submitting in advance puts you at the front of the referral queue.

Submitting before the event is strongly encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome but pre-submitted candidates get priority attention.

Who should be in this room:

This event is for you if any of the following are true:

→ You are an AI product manager or forward-deployed engineer actively looking for your next role right now

→ You have the background — software engineering, product management, consulting, enterprise sales — and you are ready to make the transition into AI PM or FDE

→ You are Claude certified or in the process of getting certified

→ You have a real portfolio or are actively building one

→ You are done waiting and ready to be in the room where it happens

Who should not be in this room:

If you are curious about AI careers but not yet ready to submit your resume and pursue an active referral — this is not the right event for you yet. Come back when you are ready to move.

Please show up a few minutes earlier as we will begin and end on time.

The venue is located on the corner of 30th and Broadway, with the big orange sign saying "Nomad Works." You literally cannot miss it.

Here’s the address.

1216 Broadway, New York, NY 10001

And the event will take place on the second floor.

There is an entrance on the side of 1216 Broadway that leads up to a staircase, because you won't be able to enter the venue through the main entrance on the night of the event.

This is where the event will take place. Just follow the signs, and you will find us there.

You can contact your event host if you're having any difficulty accessing the space or locating us.
