The Role
AI Builder Experience (ABX) is the company's front door for the agentic era. We help human developers and coding agents discover, evaluate, and choose the company, and we make the company work naturally inside the AI-native tools, frameworks, and platforms where software is being built.
We are looking for an outstanding Staff Product Manager to own the Partner Platform: the products, experiences, and operating model that allow ecosystem partners to build trusted, high-quality the company experiences for their users. This includes the Partner API and the broader path toward self-serve integrations, partner onboarding, enterprise controls, marketplace/discovery, and partner-managed experiences.
This is a role at the intersection of humans, machines, and partners. Human builders increasingly work through AI agents; AI agents need reliable interfaces, context, permissions, and tools; and partners determine where those experiences are discovered and adopted. You will make those three parts work together so the company becomes the obvious database choice wherever AI-native software is created.
The role is highly cross-functional and highly visible. You will work with engineering, design, IAM, billing, security, documentation, analytics, product marketing, partnerships, field teams, and strategic customers and partners. You will be expected to operate as both a strategic product leader and a hands-on builder who can turn an ambiguous ecosystem opportunity into a clear product vision, strategy, and an executable roadmap.
What You'll Do
- Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the the company Partner Platform, starting with the Partner API and evolving toward a scalable, self-serve industry leading partner experience
- Turn partner and customer needs into clear product bets, sequencing near-term delivery against a compelling long-term platform strategy
- Build the next phases of the Partner API, including self-serve onboarding, enterprise and administrator controls, partner-managed account creation and billing, partner discovery, and a high-quality integration bar
- Establish a repeatable operating model for partner intake, design-partner engagement, integration support, launch readiness, documentation, incident response, and post-launch learning
- Partner deeply with the Partner team, IAM, Billing, Security, Engineering, Design, Docs, Analytics, Product Marketing, Sales, and Technical Services to align all towards the cross-functional outcomes required
- Work directly with strategic AI-native partners, cloud platforms, and similar to understand their users, business models, technical constraints, and adoption levers
- Ensure the platform works for both human and agentic developers: APIs and tools must be understandable to people, usable by agents, observable, secure, and resilient under automation
- Define the metrics that show whether the platform is creating value, e.g. partner activation, time to first successful integration, integration quality, end-user adoption, successful agentic workflows, cluster growth, and partner-influenced revenue
- Create clear product narratives and communicate strategy to executives, engineering teams, partners, customers, and field stakeholders
- Represent ABX and the company externally as a credible voice on AI-native product development, developer ecosystems, and partner platforms
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of product management or equivalent experience, including ownership of complex technical products, platforms, APIs, developer tools, ecosystems, or partner integrations
- Demonstrated success taking a product or platform from ambiguous opportunity through launch, adoption, and continued evolution
- Deep technical fluency: you can reason about APIs, authentication and authorization, distributed systems, platform boundaries, integrations, data flows, reliability, and security trade-offs
- Experience building products for developers, technical users, AI-native workflows, or platform ecosystems. Direct experience with AI agents, MCP, agent frameworks, agentic coding tools, or agentic developer platforms is strongly preferred
- A clear point of view on the difference between building for human developers and building for AI agents, including implications for APIs, documentation, tooling, evaluation, observability, and quality
- Strong partner and customer instincts, with experience translating external needs into a product strategy without becoming a collection of one-off feature requests
- Ability to navigate complex and growing organizations, align teams without direct authority, and create momentum when ownership and dependencies are not obvious
- Comfort balancing speed, security, quality, enterprise requirements, and long-term platform health in a fast-moving market
- Strong analytical judgment and the ability to define meaningful outcomes even when the direct revenue line is indirect or still emerging
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you write clear documents, make trade-offs visible, and communicate effectively from engineering working sessions to executive reviews
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI-native development and regular hands-on use of AI tools in your own work
Nice to Have
- Experience with partner platforms, marketplaces, developer ecosystems, cloud platforms, databases, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS
- Experience with OAuth, delegated access, API governance, partner billing, provisioning, or multi-tenant product models
- Experience with the company, developer tools, application frameworks, or data infrastructure
Success Measures
Within 30 days:
- Develop a deep understanding of the current Partner API, partner pipeline, design-partner experience, dependencies, launch commitments, and known gaps
- Build strong working relationships with engineering, IAM, Billing, Security, Design, Partnerships, Docs, Analytics, Product Marketing, and the adjacent ABX PMs
- Meet key partners and customers and understand the jobs they need the Partner Platform to accomplish for humans, agents, and their businesses
- Produce a concise current-state assessment: what is working, what is fragile, what is one-off, and what must become platform capability
Within 60 days:
- Evolve the Partner Platform vision and strategy, including clear ownership boundaries with AI Interfaces and AI Frameworks
- Establish a metrics framework connecting partner integration quality and adoption to builder activation, Atlas usage, enterprise confidence, and business impact
- Deliver an aligned roadmap for the next phases of Partner API, partner onboarding, enterprise controls, and partner platform capabilities
- Identify the highest-leverage operating-model changes needed to improve partner speed, quality, and repeatability
Within 90 days:
- Drive one or more high-impact improvements that materially improve partner onboarding, integration quality, enterprise readiness, or end-user adoption
- Establish a credible plan for scaling from design partners to a broader ecosystem without relying on bespoke the company-side work for every integration
- Be recognized by engineering, design, partnerships, marketing, and field teams as a trusted product leader and effective cross-functional partner
- Present a clear recommendation for the long-term Partner Platform shape, including the investments, sequencing, and trade-offs required to make the company the default database for AI-native builders
