Job summary

Glean, the Work AI platform, is seeking a PM for agent interop and partnerships to guide API, SDK, and MCP strategy for developers within our customers and partners. The ideal candidate has a strong technical background and collaboration with premier B2B product companies for partnership strategy.

You will own API design, developer experience end to end, and ensure robust, scalable integrations while collaborating with engineering and customer teams to ship reliable developer tools.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in platform, developer experience, API, SDK, or partnership-driven products.
• Deeply technical with comfort in API contracts, payloads, logs, telemetry, and implementation tradeoffs with engineers.
• Built or led APIs and SDKs that are robust, scalable, and easy for external developers to adopt.
• Strong product taste for developer interfaces and care about clear abstractions, consistent resource design, and machine-readable errors.
• Experience translating developer needs into better platform products and collaborating with customer and partner developers.
• Experience integrating products with third-party enterprise applications and ensuring reliable production integrations.
• Clear documentation and concise specs; track adoption, usability, and business impact for developer-facing products.
• Excited about AI and motivated by helping customers build more effectively with it.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and evolution of our public APIs and SDKs, including versioning, deprecation, and backwards-compatibility promises.
• Spec the developer experience end to end: auth, onboarding, first call, error handling, rate limiting, webhooks, and edge cases.
• Write code. Build sample apps, run integrations, and test the experience before customers.
• Read the docs like a developer and fix the parts that lie or leave things out.
• Dig into support tickets and forum threads for patterns; treat recurring questions as design defects.
• Set and defend the metrics that matter: time-to-first-call, integration success rate, API error rates.
• Lock the API contract and requirements before engineering starts and resist mid-flight scope creep.
