Staff Product Manager — AI-Native Developer Platform (Platform Developer Experience)

Responsibilities

• Define platform-wide product strategy and multi-year roadmaps grounded in developer research, operational telemetry, and company goals — with a clear point of view on where PDX needs step-function improvements, not incremental gains
• Own the 3x Developer Velocity measurement framework: instrument the right metrics across the PDLC, build the dashboards that make progress visible to leadership and developers alike
• Own platform abstractions and product boundaries that prevent fragmentation across PDX domains as the ecosystem scales
• Ship AI-native platform experiences — MCP servers, natural language interfaces, agentic workflows — that change how developers interact with infrastructure, data, and operations
• Operate with a builder mindset: prototype solutions, contribute to innersource repositories, personally drive adoption, and turn developer friction into product opportunity
• Partner across PDX, IKS, Traffic, GBSG, Identity, AppFabric, FinTech, and BU teams to align requirements and unblock delivery across complex multi-team dependencies
• Serve as a product evangelist: communicate strategy at executive forums, publish thought leadership internally and externally, and represent PDX's platform vision in the cloud-native community (CNCF, open source)
• Convert high-ambiguity charters into clear strategies, executable roadmaps

Qualifications

• 7+ years of PM experience in platform products at scale, with hands-on ownership of distributed systems environments
• Familiarity with public cloud platforms (AWS preferred): VPC architecture, IAM, Kubernetes, service mesh (Istio/Envoy), CI/CD, and compliance frameworks (PCI-DSS, SOX, SOC2)
• Experience with or strong understanding of AI/ML developer tooling: MCP servers, LLM-powered workflows, agent-based systems, or IDE-embedded AI experiences
• Awareness of load testing, chaos engineering, DORA metrics, and reliability engineering practices
• Track record of shipping platform products with measurable adoption and business impact across large engineering organizations
• Proven portfolio management: strong say-do ratio across quarterly planning while balancing feature work, tech refresh, and run-the-business commitments
• Comfortable owning the full product arc: strategy → Alpha → Beta → GA → deprecation → successor roadmap
• Staff-Level Leadership: builder mindset: demonstrated track record of going beyond the PM role — prototyping tools, contributing to innersource repositories, or personally shipping solutions to real developer friction
• Systems thinking across interconnected platform domains — seeing how changes in one area create leverage or risk in others
• Strong cross-org influence without authority: proven ability to align engineers, architects, and VPs around a shared platform vision
• Exceptional communicator across formats: design critiques, executive roadmap reviews, external blog posts, developer community talks
• Deep empathy for the developer experience — you understand what slows developers down across the full PDLC, and you have the conviction and relationships to fix it at the platform level
