Staff Product Manager- Developer Experience

<p></p><p>As the Product Manager for Developer Experience, you will own the end‑to‑end developer workflow in dbt Cloud: the Studio IDE, Developer Agent (our AI coding assistant), the Cloud CLI, and the dbt VS Code Extension. These surfaces are the primary daily touchpoints for tens of thousands of data practitioners worldwide. </p> <p>This role sits at the intersection of developer tooling and leading‑edge AI. You will work in close partnership with the Fusion team — the engine powering dbt's next‑generation compilation, intelligence, and platform capabilities — to ensure that our developer surfaces fully leverage Fusion's capabilities and that developer needs are represented in the Fusion roadmap. The tight feedback loop between Developer Experience and Fusion is core to how dbt Cloud will evolve, and you'll be a key architect of that relationship. </p> <p>This is a full‑time position based out of our Oakland office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in‑person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team. </p> <h3>In This Role, You Will </h3> <ul> <li><b>Own the developer experience roadmap </b> across Studio IDE, Developer Agent, Cloud CLI, and the VS Code Extension — from near‑term iteration to long‑term vision. </li> <li><b>Partner deeply with the Fusion team </b> to align on capabilities, surface Fusion‑powered intelligence (SQL comprehension, compute, context) through developer‑facing UX, and co‑define the boundary between platform and product. </li> <li><b>Lead AI‑native product development </b> for Developer Agent — defining what a best‑in‑class AI coding assistant looks like for the full spectrum of dbt users, from expert analytics engineers to practitioners who are newer to code. This includes agentic workflows, context‑aware suggestions, natural language interactions, and guided development experiences that meet users where they are. </li> <li><b>Drive IDE and tooling strategy </b> informed by a deep understanding of modern development environments — think about what VS Code, Cursor, and other leading IDEs get right, and translate those instincts to the dbt Cloud context. </li> <li><b>Define and execute cross‑functional collaboration </b> with engineering, design, and GTM teams to ship high‑quality developer experiences on a predictable cadence. </li> <li><b>Build tight feedback loops </b> with the dbt community and enterprise customers to continuously improve developer tools, with particular attention to power users and technical practitioners. </li> <li><b>Conduct market and user research </b> to understand the competitive landscape for developer tooling and AI‑assisted development, and bring sharp external perspective into the roadmap. </li> <li><b>Align developer experience investments </b> to broader company goals, product‑led growth metrics, and the Fusion platform strategy. </li> </ul> <p></p> #J-18808-Ljbffr
