Principal Product Manager, Agentic AI Infrastructure

About the role

DigitalOcean is seeking a Principal Product Manager for Agentic AI Infrastructure to lead the development of new managed agent infrastructure products. This role will shape the product strategy for services like Open Harness Server, Code Execution Sandbox, Action Gateway, and related services, making it simple for developers to run, scale, secure, resume, and operate agents in the cloud.

Responsibilities

• Define the Agentic AI infrastructure product strategy
• Own the product vision, roadmap, and execution plan for DigitalOcean’s managed agent infrastructure products
• Lead product definition for services such as Open Harness Server, Code Execution Sandbox, Action Gateway, tool execution, session management, agent runtime APIs, and related developer experiences
• Partner directly with companies building coding agents, productivity agents, workflow agents, and custom AI systems to understand the infrastructure they need to move from prototype to production
• Create simple abstractions for complex workloads
• Build intuitive APIs, CLIs, docs, examples, and workflows that let developers bring their existing harnesses and agent frameworks to DigitalOcean with minimal friction
• Work closely with engineering leaders to translate customer needs into product requirements across MicroVMs, sandboxing, tool execution, identity, state management, observability, security, and scale
• Partner with GTM, finance, and engineering to define packaging, pricing, beta programs, launch plans, and adoption motions for agentic infrastructure services
• Establish product metrics around adoption, retention, usage, reliability, workload scale, gross margin, developer satisfaction, and revenue growth
• Evangelize the category: Help DigitalOcean explain why agents need a new infrastructure layer and how our products help developers build, test, deploy, and operate agents with confidence

Requirements

Strong product leadership in infrastructure or developer platforms: Experience building cloud infrastructure, developer tools, ML platforms, runtime systems, workflow engines, security products, or API-first platforms

Fluency in agentic AI systems: Understanding of how agents use tools, execute code, manage context, call APIs, operate across long-running sessions, and interact with external systems

Tech depth in cloud primitives: Familiarity with areas such as containers, MicroVMs, sandboxing, identity and access management, stateful workloads, distributed systems, observability, and secure execution environments

Customer-backed product instincts: Ability to work with early, demanding customers and turn ambiguous feedback into clear product direction, roadmap priorities, and launchable capabilities

Systems thinking: You can reason across user experience, platform architecture, security, reliability, pricing, and operational complexity

Developer empathy: You understand what developers need to adopt a platform quickly: simple APIs, clear mental models, fast onboarding, trustworthy docs, and products that work without unnecessary ceremony

Business judgment: You can connect product investments to revenue, adoption, margin, differentiation, and long-term platform strategy

Executive communication and influence: You can align engineering, design, GTM, finance, legal, security, and executive stakeholders around a clear product strategy

Category-building mindset: You are excited to operate in an emerging market where the primitives are still being defined and where product leadership requires both conviction and customer-driven iteration
