This role sits at the center of a world-class developer platform used by millions of engineers and thousands of enterprise organizations globally. You will define and scale the next generation of API infrastructure powering real-time, AI-driven, and event-based software ecosystems. The work spans platform strategy, developer experience, and monetization of large-scale API consumption. You will shape how external developers, enterprise customers, and AI agents interact with critical platform capabilities. The environment is highly technical, cross-functional, and deeply data-driven, requiring strong alignment across engineering, finance, and go-to-market teams. Your decisions will directly influence platform reliability, ecosystem growth, and long-term business sustainability. This is a high-impact role for a product leader who thrives at the intersection of APIs, distributed systems, and developer tooling.

• Define and own the product vision and roadmap for large-scale API platforms, including real-time, event-driven, and agent-ready architectures. Translate customer and ecosystem needs into clear product strategy and execution plans.
• Lead the transition from traditional request/response APIs to subscription-based, event-streaming models with strong guarantees around reliability, ordering, and scalability.
• Drive API parity initiatives by identifying functional gaps across the platform and prioritizing high-impact improvements that enhance developer trust and integration capability.
• Design and evolve consumption and pricing models for APIs, including usage-based and tiered structures that balance ecosystem health with platform economics.
• Partner closely with engineering, finance, billing, and customer-facing teams to ensure scalable infrastructure, sustainable cost models, and seamless developer adoption.
• Represent the product externally through customer engagement, executive communication, and developer-facing content to drive adoption and alignment.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in product management, technical program leadership, software development, or related technical roles, with strong exposure to platform or infrastructure products.
• Deep experience (2+ years minimum) working with developer tools, APIs, or platform ecosystems, with the ability to translate technical complexity into clear product direction.
• Proven track record of shipping APIs or large-scale distributed/event-driven systems, including real-time or streaming architectures.
• Strong analytical skills with experience using data to guide prioritization, measure impact, and optimize product and business outcomes.
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, finance, sales, and customer success teams in complex technical environments.
• Familiarity with usage-based or consumption-based pricing models is highly preferred.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience presenting to executive stakeholders and influencing multi-team roadmaps.
• Ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments while driving alignment across global, distributed teams.

Benefits:

• Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus and equity/stock eligibility depending on role structure
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
• Retirement savings plans with employer contributions (e.g., 401(k))
• Flexible remote-first work environment within the United States
