- Lead AI-native product development for Developer Agent, including agentic workflows, context-aware suggestions, and natural language interactions.
- Drive IDE and tooling strategy informed by modern development environments like VS Code and Cursor.
- Define and execute cross-functional collaboration with engineering, design, and GTM teams.
- Build feedback loops with the dbt community and enterprise customers.
- Conduct market and user research on developer tooling and AI-assisted development.
- Align developer experience investments to company goals and Fusion platform strategy.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time on developer tools, IDEs, or technical platforms.
- Direct experience managing IDE or developer environment products.
- Demonstrated engagement with AI-powered development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Devin, etc.).
- Strong technical foundation to work fluently with engineering partners.
- Experience conducting user research and translating feedback into prioritized product work.
- Excellent written and verbal communication.
- Comfort working asynchronously as part of a distributed, remote team.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience with dbt or similar SQL-first transformation frameworks.
- Prior experience building or shipping AI agent features.
- Familiarity with LSP, tree-sitter, or other IDE infrastructure primitives.
