Responsibilities

  • Define and articulate a clear product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Toolchain Observability – accounting for how AI-driven development (coding agents, agent swarms, software factories) is generating new classes of telemetry and raising the bar for what teams need to see, trust, and act on across the software delivery lifecycle
  • Conduct thorough market research, competitive analysis, and customer interviews to identify opportunities and unmet needs across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments
  • Develop business cases for new product initiatives
  • Establish the product direction for how AI agents and autonomous workflows benefit at scale from Develocity’s capabilities to observe the toolchain, both as consumers of build, test, and toolchain signals, and as workloads that change what needs to be observed
  • Collaborate with the AI strategy team to identify opportunities where Develocity's unique data and domain expertise can power AI-driven observability and diagnostics capabilities
  • Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape and evaluate how LLMs, coding agents, and agentic workflows impact telemetry, debugging, and root-cause analysis across the software delivery lifecycle – locally and on CI
  • Gather, analyze, and prioritize product requirements, synthesizing input from all stakeholders, including customers, sales, support, and engineering
  • Translate high-level business requirements into prioritized functional requirements with a strong value proposition
  • Make pragmatic roadmap prioritization decisions with a clear rationale
  • Work with sales and marketing to develop go-to-market strategies, product positioning, and messaging
  • Develop go-to-market materials to support the enterprise sales motion, such as presentations and demos
  • Partner with customer-facing teams to understand and address customer pain points
  • Evangelize for your products, presenting to customers, partners, and at conferences, as well as internally
  • Actively engage with industry standards bodies and communities around Developer and Agent Productivity Engineering and software delivery observability
  • Act as an external thought leader in the Toolchain Observability space

Skills

  • 5+ years of experience in product management in a customer-facing, B2B context
  • Deep domain knowledge of observability
  • Prior experience as a software engineer or DevOps engineer
  • Proven ability to build and manage a pragmatic product roadmap
  • Use of Agentic AI tools in your daily workflow to increase productivity and output
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to leverage data to inform product decisions
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills
  • Experience with developer tooling, build systems, or CI/CD products
  • Experience with building AI-powered products, agentic workflows, or LLM-based tooling

Benefits

  • Work on a widely used product with a clear vision for the future, at the intersection of AI and developer tooling.
  • Contribute to leading solutions in the new industry of Developer and Agent Productivity Engineering.
  • Close collaboration with an ambitious and experienced team.
