• Drive the DevEx strategy and roadmap for a portfolio that includes the inner dev loop, CI/CD and release engineering, observability and incident response tooling, the internal developer portal, and platform service enablement
• Define and execute Zillow's AI-for-development strategy
• Accelerate the product lifecycle through paved-path experiences that let non-engineering personas contribute through guarded agentic workflows
• Treat internal teams as customers, leading rigorous discovery with engineers, EMs, staff/principal engineers, and adjacent personas
• Drive adoption and measurable outcomes
• Partner deeply with engineering leadership to co-own the platform
• Lead and develop the PM team: hiring, coaching, and raising the bar on Platform-as-a-Product thinking

• Deeply technical and AI-fluent
• Platform-as-a-Product believer
• Builder-mentality leader
• Exceptional collaborator and communicator
• People leader and culture carrier
• Hands-on technical background (software engineering, ML/AI engineering, or DevOps/platform engineering) earlier in career

Requirements

• Experience scaling developer platforms at a consumer marketplace, large-enterprise SaaS, or AI-first company
• Direct experience evaluating, rolling out, or building agentic development tools
• Experience partnering closely with Security, Privacy, and Compliance on developer-tool rollouts in regulated environments
