We’re looking for a Staff Product Manager for Developer Platforms who doesn’t just ship features—but defines what should exist in the first place. This role owns the end-to-end experience for developers building on Workato: from first API call to production-scale agent systems.

This is not a roadmap execution role. You will define the platform strategy, make hard tradeoffs, and build a product that developers choose in a competitive market.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a strategic Staff Product Manager to lead our developer-facing products for LLM and Agentic applications. In this pivotal role, you will be the bridge between our developers, our business goals, and our engineering teams, driving the vision and execution of next-generation AI-powered automation and integration tools on the Workato platform.

You will be responsible for the entire product lifecycle, from identifying market opportunities and defining the product vision to working with engineering to deliver solutions that empower developers. This role requires someone who has successfully built and shipped developer products before, with a deep understanding of developer ergonomics and an instinct for what separates good developer tools from truly exceptional ones.

This is a critical role for someone with a proven track record in developer experience, a strong understanding of the AI landscape, and the ability to translate complex technical capabilities into tangible business value. You should know what great developer tools look and feel like because you've built them yourself. You will also be responsible to:

  • Define and champion the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Workato's AI and LLM-focused developer products.

  • Partner closely with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to deliver exceptional AI products and drive go-to-market success.

  • Build deep insights into developer workflows, needs, and pain points through direct customer engagement, user research, and community feedback.

  • Transform developer insights and business requirements into actionable PRDs, user stories, and technical specifications.

  • Own the product backlog and feature prioritization, making data-driven decisions that balance immediate developer needs with long-term platform vision.

  • Lead competitive intelligence and market analysis to identify emerging trends and ensure Workato stays ahead in AI developer tooling.

  • Champion the product vision both internally and externally, engaging with developer communities, conferences, and key technical stakeholders.

  • Establish and monitor key product metrics including developer satisfaction, API adoption, and platform engagement to drive continuous improvement.

  • Drive developer adoption metrics and optimize onboarding experiences to reduce time-to-first-value.

RequirementsQualifications / Experience / Technical Skills
  • 7+ years in product management, including owning a developer-facing product or platform end-to-end—from defining the vision to shipping and iterating
  • Strong product instincts for developer platforms, with a clear point of view on what differentiates winning products (DX, capabilities, ecosystem, distribution)
  • Experience driving adoption with external developers, including improving key stages of the funnel: discover → try → activate → scale
  • Hands-on experience building or managing APIs, SDKs, CLIs, or extensibility frameworks, with an understanding of how these impact real developer workflows
  • Demonstrated developer empathy, grounded in observing and improving real workflows (e.g., working with APIs, CI/CD, logs, IDEs)
  • Comfortable going deep with engineering on system design and tradeoffs, including constraints, scalability, and abstraction decisions
  • Familiarity with modern AI/LLM or agent-based development workflows (e.g., orchestration, prompt iteration, evaluation, observability)
  • Awareness of how developer workflows are evolving (AI copilots, APIs-first development, faster iteration cycles), with a perspective on where things are headed

Nice to Have

  • Hands-on experience building or using LLM-powered applications and familiarity with AI frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar.

  • Experience with integration, automation, or MLOps platforms.

  • Active participation in developer communities through writing, speaking, or open-source contributions.

Soft Skills / Personal Characteristics
  • You are a strategic thinker who can connect technology with business impact and craft a compelling product narrative.

  • You have excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams.

  • You are comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration, thriving in fast-paced, innovative environments.
