• Drive cultural change by incentivizing documentation, deep work, and “paved road” adoption across the organization.

• Partner with Security and Infrastructure teams to balance speed with compliance and reliability.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of Product Management experience , with a strong preference for candidates who have worked on Internal Developer Platforms (IDP), DevOps tools , or B2B technical products.

• Technical Fluency: You can have deep technical conversations with engineers about CI/CD pipelines, microservices architecture, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and mobile release cycles.

• Data-Driven: Experience using metrics like DORA , SPACE , or DevEx to guide decision-making and measure success.

• Program Management: Strong technical program management skills to orchestrate complex, cross-functional initiatives.

• Change Management: Proven ability to drive adoption of new tools and processes across a large, distributed engineering organization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge with our specific tech stack: AWS, Kubernetes, TypeScript, React Native, Kafka, and DataDog.

• Familiarity with Backstage (Mission Control) or similar internal developer portals.

• Experience implementing GenAI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Glean) in an enterprise environment to drive productivity.

• Background in SRE or Platform Engineering principles.
