[Hiring] Staff Product Manager, AI & Developer Experience @Fivetran

Role Description

AI is changing how data practitioners write, debug, and ship dbt code. As Staff Product Manager for Developer Experience, you will set the strategy for how that change plays out in dbt.

You will own the vision, roadmap, and outcomes for the end-to-end developer workflow:

• Studio IDE
• Developer Agent (our AI coding assistant inside dbt Wizard)
• Cloud CLI
• dbt VS Code Extension

This is a Staff-level role with broad scope and direct influence on company direction. You will be the key partner to the Fusion team, the engine behind dbt’s next-generation compilation and intelligence.

We are looking for someone who is both strategic and hands-on: a leader who can define where AI-native developer tooling is going, and who is deeply passionate about AI agents and what it takes to build them well.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience, including a track record of owning strategy and roadmap for developer platforms at scale.
• Direct experience owning developer environment products, with an informed point of view on what makes development tools excellent and where modern IDEs fall short.
• Hands-on experience with AI agents.
• A history of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives and influencing without authority, including across platform and product team boundaries.
• A strong technical foundation: you can reason about system architecture, engage deeply with engineers, and contribute to technical decisions.
• Experience turning user research and developer feedback into prioritized, well-scoped product work.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, from crisp specs to executive-level narratives.
• Comfort working asynchronously on a distributed, remote team.

Requirements

• Define and own the multi-year vision and roadmap for developer experience across Studio IDE, Developer Agent, Cloud CLI, and the VS Code Extension, and translate it into clear priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs.
• Align developer experience investments with company strategy, product-led growth goals, and the Fusion platform direction. Set success metrics and hold yourself accountable for the outcomes.
• Make high-stakes bets on where to invest, what to build, and what not to build, using market insight, customer evidence, and technical judgment.
• Define what a best-in-class AI coding agent looks like for the full range of dbt users.
• Shape principles for trust, transparency, control, and evaluation in agentic experiences, so users can rely on the agent for real work.
• Track the fast-moving AI development landscape (Copilot, Cursor, Devin, and beyond) and turn it into a differentiated point of view, not just feature parity.
• Partner with the Fusion team to co-define the boundary between platform and product, agree on API contracts, and keep roadmaps coordinated.
• Lead engineering, design, and GTM teams through a predictable shipping cadence, and keep teams aligned on what matters and why.
• Influence senior leadership and stakeholders across the company with crisp strategy docs, compelling demos, and clear framing of complex tradeoffs.
• Mentor other PMs and raise the bar for product craft, rigor, and technical depth across the organization.
• Build tight feedback loops with the dbt community and enterprise customers, with particular attention to power users and technical practitioners.
• Use user research and competitive analysis to ground strategy in evidence and bring a sharp external perspective into planning.

Benefits

• 100% employer-paid medical insurance
• Generous paid time away from work, including paid vacation or flexible/unlimited vacation depending on role and country, plus paid sick time, inclusive parental leave, paid holidays, including a year-end Global Week of Rest, and volunteer days off.
• RSU stock grants
• Professional development and training opportunities
• Company virtual happy hours, free food, and fun team-building activities
• Monthly cell phone stipend
• Access to an innovative mental health support platform that offers personalized care and resources in areas such as therapy, coaching, and self-guided mindfulness exercises for all covered employees and their covered dependents.
