Leads product roadmap for developer productivity platforms including CI/CD, build systems, observability, and AI integrations to boost engineering velocity. Requires 3+ years PM experience in dev tools or engineering background, plus familiarity with developer metrics and AI tooling.
About the role
Responsibilities
- Translate engineering team needs and pain points into a clear, prioritized roadmap, working closely with engineering counterparts to keep the team focused on the highest-impact work.
- Track and report on the metrics that reflect developer experience health. Use data and qualitative insights to surface bottlenecks, measure progress, and make the case for what the team should work on next.
- Partner with engineers, TPMs, and cross-functional stakeholders to scope and deliver platform improvements that reduce friction across CI/CD, build systems, developer environments, and observability.
- Write crisp specs and requirements that give engineers what they need to move fast - clear problem framing, explicit success criteria, and well-defined tradeoffs.
- Evaluate and champion the integration of AI and agentic tooling into developer workflows. Assess what actually creates leverage versus what’s noise, and help the team build a point of view on where these tools belong.
- Communicate platform health, progress, and tradeoffs to engineering leadership and cross-functional partners with consistency and clarity.
- Keep feedback loops tight — between engineers using the platform and the team building it.
Requirements
- BA/BS degree or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years of product management experience, with at least one of the following: a hands-on engineering background (shipped production code) or direct PM ownership of a developer experience, developer productivity, or platform/infrastructure product.
- Can read code, engage substantively with a technical architecture doc, and hold your own in a room full of engineers.
- Direct familiarity with developer tooling: CI/CD systems, build pipelines, observability platforms, local dev environments.
- Fluent in developer productivity metrics — know DORA measures, why cycle time matters, and how to tell signal from noise in platform health data.
- Hands-on experience with AI and agentic systems — understand how LLM-based tools fit into developer workflows.
- Execute with speed and precision in a high-velocity environment.
- Resilient and self-directed for platform work with long feedback loops.
- Communicate clearly in writing on technical tradeoffs.
- Stay curious and build fluency in emerging AI technologies.
