Job description

Staff Product Manager – Developer Platforms (AI / LLM & Agentic Products)

Our client is a leading enterprise integration and automation platform (iPaaS) that helps large organizations unify their data, applications, processes, and AI into a single, governed platform. Trusted by a large share of the Fortune 500, their cloud-native architecture connects every application, data source, and process to power real-time orchestration at scale. With enterprise-grade security and continuous innovation at its core, they provide the trusted foundation for organizations to automate with confidence and operationalize AI across the business.

They foster a flexible, trust‑oriented culture that empowers everyone to take full ownership of their roles, balancing productivity with self‑care. They have been recognized by leading industry publications as a high‑growth cloud company and as a top employer for remote workers.

The Role

Our client is looking for a Staff Product Manager for Developer Platforms who doesn't just ship features — but defines what should exist in the first place. This role owns the end‑to‑end experience for developers building on the platform: from first API call to production‑scale agent systems.

This is not a roadmap execution role. You will define the platform strategy, make hard tradeoffs, and build a product that developers choose in a competitive market. You will lead the developer‑facing products for LLM and agentic applications, acting as the bridge between developers, business goals, and engineering teams to drive the vision and execution of next‑generation AI‑powered automation and integration tools.

You will own the entire product lifecycle, from identifying market opportunities and defining the product vision to working with engineering to deliver solutions that empower developers. This requires someone who has successfully built and shipped developer products before, with a deep understanding of developer ergonomics and an instinct for what separates good developer tools from truly exceptional ones. You should know what great developer tools look and feel like because you've built them yourself.

Requirements

Qualifications / Experience / Technical Skills

7+ years in product management, including owning a developer‑facing product or platform end‑to‑end — from defining the vision to shipping and iterating

Strong product instincts for developer platforms, with a clear point of view on what differentiates winning products (DX, capabilities, ecosystem, distribution)

Experience driving adoption with external developers, including improving key stages of the funnel: discover → try → activate → scale

Hands‑on experience building or managing APIs, SDKs, CLIs, or extensibility frameworks, with an understanding of how these impact real developer workflows

Demonstrated developer empathy, grounded in observing and improving real workflows (e.g., working with APIs, CI/CD, logs, IDEs)

Comfortable going deep with engineering on system design and tradeoffs, including constraints, scalability, and abstraction decisions

Familiarity with modern AI/LLM or agent‑based development workflows (e.g., orchestration, prompt iteration, evaluation, observability)

Awareness of how developer workflows are evolving (AI copilots, APIs‑first development, faster iteration cycles), with a perspective on where things are headed

Nice to Have

Hands‑on experience building or using LLM‑powered applications and familiarity with AI frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar

Experience with integration, automation, or MLOps platforms

Active participation in developer communities through writing, speaking, or open‑source contributions

Soft Skills / Personal Characteristics

A strategic thinker who can connect technology with business impact and craft a compelling product narrative

Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence and align cross‑functional teams

Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration, thriving in fast‑paced, innovative environments

Responsibilities

Define and champion the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the client's AI and LLM‑focused developer products

Partner closely with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to deliver exceptional AI products and drive go‑to‑market success

Build deep insights into developer workflows, needs, and pain points through direct customer engagement, user research, and community feedback

Transform developer insights and business requirements into actionable PRDs, user stories, and technical specifications

Own the product backlog and feature prioritization, making data‑driven decisions that balance immediate developer needs with long‑term platform vision

Lead competitive intelligence and market analysis to identify emerging trends and stay ahead in AI developer tooling

Champion the product vision both internally and externally, engaging with developer communities, conferences, and key technical stakeholders

Establish and monitor key product metrics including developer satisfaction, API adoption, and platform engagement to drive continuous improvement

Drive developer adoption metrics and optimize onboarding experiences to reduce time‑to‑first‑value
