About the position
We are seeking a strategic Lead 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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in product management, with a demonstrated history of launching successful developer-facing products.
- Passionate about creating exceptional developer experiences and have strong instincts for what makes developer tools truly great.
- Possess strong user empathy and a developer-first mindset, effectively advocating for developer needs.
- Experience building or managing APIs, SDKs, or other developer platforms.
- Technical background or demonstrable understanding of the AI/ML development lifecycle, including data processing, model deployment, and monitoring.
Nice-to-haves
- 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.
