About the Role

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager-Consultant to own the end‑to‑end roadmap and delivery of our Creo customization toolkits and their integrations into modern IDEs (VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, etc.). This role is ideal for a technically strong Technical Product Manager who understands developer platforms and passioned on building excellent API and tooling experiences across multiple programming languages.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap and execution for our Creo customization SDK and language bindings (C, C++, Java, JavaScript, VBA, and upcoming Python), ensuring consistency of concepts and capabilities across languages.
• Lead API design governance: naming conventions, versioning, deprecation policies, backward compatibility, language ergonomics, and documentation standards.
• Coordinate cross‑functional delivery with core Creo teams, language binding teams, DevOps, documentation, and product management to meet release timelines and quality criteria.
• Manage technical risks and dependencies, including Creo release schedule, OS/toolchain updates, and language runtime changes; drive clear status, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Champion developer experience: drive samples, reference implementations, project templates, and tooling that make it easy to build, debug, and ship Creo customizations.

IDE & Tooling Responsibilities

• Own the strategy and roadmap for first‑party IDE extensions/plugins for VS Code, IntelliJ‑based IDEs, and other key environments used by our Creo developer ecosystem.
• Ensure each supported language has a coherent IDE story (syntax support, navigation, completion/intellisense where applicable, inline documentation, and debugging workflows).
• Work with engineering to align SDK packaging, project structures, and build configurations with modern IDE workflows (e.g., CMake/MSBuild, Maven/Gradle, npm, Python environments).
• Define and run feedback loops with internal teams, partners, and external developers to continuously improve both the SDK and IDE integrations.
• Drive integration of AI‑assisted development patterns (e.g., “vibe coding” workflows, code‑generation prompts, inline AI suggestions) into the Creo SDK and IDE extensions, ensuring APIs, samples, and documentation are optimized for use with modern AI coding assistants.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in software engineering or technical program management, with significant experience delivering complex technical products or platforms.
• Hands‑on background with APIs/SDKs or developer platforms; comfortable reading code, design docs, and reviewing API proposals.
• Practical experience with at least two of: C/C++, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python; understanding of native/managed interop and language bindings is a strong plus.
• Experience coordinating multi‑team programs with multiple releases, dependencies, and stakeholders.
• Strong communication skills: able to write clear design summaries, status updates, and decision records for technical and non‑technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with desktop or rich‑client products (Creo or other 3D/graphics/simulation products) where performance and backward compatibility are critical.
• Direct experience building or managing IDE extensions/plugins (e.g., VS Code extensions, IntelliJ plugins) or similar developer‑tool integrations.
• Familiarity with CI/CD for SDKs and tooling, semantic versioning, and automated compatibility testing across platforms and language bindings.
• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority, facilitate design reviews, and drive alignment across product and engineering teams.
• Experience designing or integrating AI‑assisted developer workflows (e.g., code completion, AI code generation, prompt‑driven coding patterns) and shaping APIs and tooling to work effectively with modern AI coding assistants.

What Success Looks Like

• A coherent, well‑documented Creo customization toolkit across all supported languages with clear versioning and migration paths.
• High‑quality IDE integrations that significantly improve the productivity of our Creo developers and partners.
• Predictable, transparent delivery of roadmap milestones with clear tradeoffs and well‑managed risks.
