About the role:
As Product Manager - Platform (m/f/d), you own the internal developer platform as a product, with a clear focus on improving developer experience, delivery speed, and reliability. You treat internal engineers as customers and make deliberate trade-offs between flexibility, standardization, and cognitive load. Working closely with Platform and Product Engineering teams, you define the platform vision and roadmap, ensure strong adoption through trust and reliability, and focus relentlessly on measurable developers' productivity and satisfaction increase.
Job Description
About your tasks:
- Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Internal Developer Platform, with engineering teams as the sole primary customers. Scope includes CI/CD, delivery pipelines, golden paths, developer tooling, internal APIs, service templates, observability integrations, and cloud/ runtime abstractions.
- Operate as a technical product peer to Platform and Product Engineering. You are expected to understand modern software engineering and delivery practices (CI/CD, trunk-based development, IaC, cloud-native systems, SRE/ operability) well enough to make informed trade-offs, challenge solutions, and unblock teams without translation layers.
- Run continuous discovery directly with engineers, grounded in real workflows and delivery constraints. Apply product discovery techniques to engineering systems, not user-facing features, and prioritize based on measurable impact to delivery flow and system reliability.
- Define, own, and act on DevEx and flow metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, pipeline reliability, onboarding time, cognitive load). Roadmap decisions are driven by throughput, safety, and autonomy, not stakeholder opinions.
- Design, evolve, and enforce opinionated golden paths covering the majority of use cases. Make explicit calls on standardization vs. flexibility, and be clear about what the platform does and does not support.
- Own platform defaults end to end. Defaults must be secure, observable, cost-aware, compliant, and production-ready without requiring additional engineering effort from consuming teams.
- Be accountable for platform adoption and lifecycle management, including discoverability, documentation, enablement, migrations, and deprecations. Low adoption is treated as a product failure, not a communication gap.
- Make platform-level decisions that optimize overall system throughput, even when this conflicts with local team preferences. This includes setting standards, defining defaults, approving or rejecting exceptions, and driving deprecations in alignment with engineering leadership.
- Translate platform capabilities into concrete, engineering-relevant outcomes, such as faster feedback loops, reduced cognitive load, safer changes, and improved operability.
Qualifications
About you:
- Proven experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager for platforms, infrastructure, or developer tooling.
- Hands-on experience with modern product management practices, such as Continuous Discovery, Opportunity Solution Trees, Low-/High-Fidelity Prototyping, customer enablement and advisory, CSAT, and NPS.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, cloud computing, and SDLC security.
- Strong knowledge of modern software delivery practices, including:
- CI/CD and trunk-based development, cloud-native architectures
- Infrastructure as Code, internal platforms, and self-service models
- Strong systems thinking, with the ability to anticipate second- and third-order effects.
- Comfortable working with senior engineers without hiding behind process.
- Proven ability to manage stakeholders and make hard prioritization decisions.
