Principal Product Manager, Platform Engineering
Rewrite
## About the role
- Own the platform roadmap across the teams we serve: aggregate demand, set priorities, sequence what ships, and make the calls on what we won't build.
- Own the measurement: define what "faster and safer" means, instrument it, and report the honest signal, including when the platform isn't earning adoption yet.
- Prototype and build your own dashboards, tools, and analyses with agents and code, so you can test an idea or read the data without waiting on someone else.
- Run the adoption motion: onboarding, docs, developer relations (DevRel), and the feedback loop that turns a useful platform into an adopted one.
- Partner with the architects and engineers on what to build and why. You own the roadmap; they own the technical how.
- Stay close to the teams we serve: learn their real workflows, where they lose time, and the business they're driving, and weigh the whole base fairly in what we prioritize.
- Make the case to leadership and partner orgs with evidence: what the platform changed and what it costs.
- A platform-as-a-product PM who builds, a technical product manager at heart.
## Requirements
- You've owned a developer-facing or internal product, and you prototype and analyze yourself rather than delegating every artifact.
- AI-native. You use generative AI and agents to build — prototypes, tools, analyses, shipped product — not slideware about AI.
- Fluent with data: product analytics and experimentation. You define the metric that matters, instrument it, and stay honest when it says the thing isn't working.
- Comfortable that adoption is earned, never mandated, and energized by earning it on the merits rather than assuming it.
- Technical enough to earn engineers' trust: you can read the code, reason about the architecture, and hold your own with a senior architect on tradeoffs.
- Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years in product management or software development — OR equivalent experience.
- Bachelor's Degree AND 12+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience.
## Nice to have
- Hands-on experience using generative AI and agents to build (prototypes, tools, or shipped product).
- Experience owning a developer-facing or platform product (an internal developer platform (IDP), developer tools, or developer experience / DevEx) as the product owner.
- A track record of making product decisions from data: defining the metrics, instrumenting them, and driving the outcomes.
