You will partner closely with Engineering, Architecture, Design, Customer teams, and external partners to build a world-class platform foundation that powers our next-generation products.

If you thrive at the intersection of APIs, platform architecture, customer value, and product strategy, this role is for you.

Product Execution & Delivery

• Translate strategic objectives into actionable requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Partner with Engineering to ensure high-quality delivery, scalability, and performance of platform components.
• Lead end-to-end product lifecycle for PaaS features — ideation, design, development, launch, adoption, and iteration.

Developer Experience & Ecosystem Enablement

• Champion the needs of developers (internal and external) by shaping intuitive APIs, documentation, SDKs, and testing frameworks.
• Collaborate with Developer Relations, Architecture, and Partner teams to enhance integration patterns, onboarding, and platform extensibility.
• Drive adoption by defining guidelines, best practices, and usage standards.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Security, Compliance, CloudOps, and Customer teams.
• Support GTM teams with platform positioning, messaging, and enablement materials.
• Engage customers and partners to gather feedback, validate use cases, and shape future roadmap priorities.

Metrics & Performance Management

• Define KPIs for platform performance, API usage, developer adoption, and reliability.
• Monitor usage patterns and operational metrics to identify improvements and drive platform modernization.
• Lead experiments and A/B tests when introducing new APIs or platform capabilities.

You've got what it takes if you have...

• 5+ years of Product Management experience, ideally with PaaS, API-first products, or developer platforms.
• Strong understanding of REST, GraphQL, event-driven architectures, authentication frameworks (OAuth, JWT), and cloud-native design principles.
• Proven ability to partner closely with Engineering to deliver highly technical products.
• Experience with API lifecycle management, versioning, security rules, and platform governance.
• Strong communication skills with an ability to simplify complex concepts for various audiences.
• Demonstrated success driving roadmap execution in fast-paced agile environments.

An extra dose of awesome for…

• Experience working with large-scale enterprise SaaS platforms.
• Background in building integration frameworks, microservices architectures, or cloud-native platforms.
