Staff Product Manager - Developer Experience and Test Pyramid

Responsibilities

• Drive AI-Native Validation: Lead the transformation of our testing suites by integrating AI to generate test cases, identify regression risks, and optimize test selection, significantly accelerating the time-to-impact.
• Redefine Developer Workflow: Build an AI-forward developer experience that removes friction from the "inner loop" of development, ensuring engineers can validate and iterate on their ideas in seconds, not hours.
• Architect the Test Pyramid: Define the vision and roadmap for how Snowflake validates the product. You will shape the strategy across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, moving the organization toward an optimized, AI-assisted validation model.
• Manage a Strategic Portfolio: Oversee a diverse set of developer-facing capabilities including development environments, local testing tools, and programmatic interfaces (APIs/SDKs) that engineers rely on daily.
• Partner Across Engineering: Work closely with our CI/CD PM and engineering leadership to ensure a seamless handoff between the developer's local environment and our global deployment pipelines.
• Drive Technical Strategy: Collaborate with engineering and data science to make high-stakes decisions about architecture and protocol standards, ensuring our internal platform scales with Snowflake’s growth.

Requirements

• 8+ years of Product Management experience, with a proven track record of shipping developer-facing tools or technical infrastructure.
• Deep Technical Fluency: A strong background in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), with specific expertise in testing strategies and automated validation at scale.
• Platform-First Mindset: Experience building platform products that serve other engineers; you understand how to treat internal users as high-value customers.
• AI-Native Thinking: An innate curiosity and proven ability to treat AI as a collaborator to solve complex engineering bottlenecks.
• Strategic Execution: The ability to take broad, complex problem spaces—like "optimizing the test pyramid for a distributed system"—and decompose them into actionable, multi-quarter roadmaps.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Highly analytical mindset, knowing how to use metrics (e.g., test flakiness, build duration, developer sentiment) to prioritize the backlog effectively.

Bonus Qualifications

• Previous hands-on experience as a software engineer.
• Experience building or managing internal developer platforms in a high-growth cloud environment.
• Familiarity with modern data stack architectures or AI/ML pipelines.
