Product Manager, Developer Productivity

About the role

Partner with Developer Productivity engineering teams to own the end-to-end developer experience—from the source control and language ecosystems that underpin our monorepo, to the build and CI infrastructure that keeps thousands of daily builds running reliably across multiple cloud providers, to the acceleration tooling that deeply integrates Claude into every engineer's workflow.

Directly impacts engineering velocity across the entire company: defining the abstractions for how code moves from idea to production, establishing the metrics that surface friction before it compounds, and making the trade-offs that keep a rapidly scaling engineering organization shipping with confidence.

Defines the evolution of our developer platform through a fundamental shift in how software gets built—as AI agents move from autocomplete to autonomous collaborators, the definition of "developer" is changing, and our tooling, governance, and workflows must change with it. Defines what developer productivity means when a meaningful share of code is written, tested, and reviewed by Claude itself.

Drives product strategy and roadmap for developer acceleration, including AI-assisted code review, agent-driven test generation, automated dependency management, and the governance frameworks that let teams safely delegate work to autonomous systems.

Owns the trade-off framework between velocity, reliability, security, and cost—making transparent prioritization decisions about where to invest in human workflows versus agent workflows, and communicating them clearly to senior leadership.

Establishes and champions the productivity metrics that matter in an AI-native engineering org—moving beyond commits and cycle time to measures that capture human-agent collaboration effectiveness, toil eliminated, and time-to-confident-ship.

Builds conviction about where developer tooling is headed on a 2–3 year horizon, and translates that into a roadmap that keeps Anthropic ahead of—not reacting to—the exponential curve of AI-assisted development.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product management experience, with deep exposure to developer tooling, build systems, CI/CD, or platform infrastructure
• Experience taking technical platform products from infancy to scale—you've built something from the ground up and grown it to serve demanding internal or external engineering customers
• Track record of building platform products that balance the needs of multiple engineering personas—you're comfortable making prioritization trade-offs between velocity, reliability, and security, and communicating them clearly
• Ability to internalize complex technical systems (build systems, monorepos, CI pipelines, accelerator toolchains) and translate that understanding into a comprehensive product vision
• Fluent across functions—you're equally credible discussing build graph optimization with engineers, developer velocity economics with leadership, and AI-agent governance with security teams
• A strong thesis on how AI will reshape software development—you've thought deeply about what changes when agents write, review, and ship meaningful portions of a codebase, and you're energized by defining the tooling for that world rather than waiting for it to arrive
• Scrappy and resourceful—you do what it takes to get things done in a fast-moving environment

Qualifications

• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
