The Role

We're looking for a Product Manager to join a focused engineering team building at the intersection of Git, AI agents, and the future of developer workflows. You'll be the second PM on this team, working directly with and reporting to a senior PM, embedded with a group of engineers tackling some of the most interesting problems in developer tooling right now. This isn't a traditional PM role. It's a role for someone who's genuinely curious about where software development is heading and already leaning into it - someone who uses AI as more than a writing assistant and who's excited to grow into a new kind of PM in a space where that role is still being defined.

You'll work in close partnership with a senior PM rather than being handed a roadmap and left to figure it out alone. The space is moving fast, the problems are genuinely hard, and having a real thought partner at that level is part of what makes this role work. The expectation isn't that you arrive knowing everything; it's that you're sharp, motivated, and ready to grow in an environment that's set up for it.

It's a rare opportunity to work closely with senior technical leaders at exactly the moment a new category of tooling is being defined - and to see firsthand how they think about hard problems and what it actually looks like to ship AI-native developer tooling.

You'll have real ownership over meaningful parts of the work, not just support tasks, and you'll be building in a space where the norms, tools, and expectations are still being established. That's uncomfortable for some people and energizing for others. We're looking for the latter.

What We're Building

The way software teams work is changing faster than their tools. AI agents can now write code faster than any human, but the workflows, interfaces, and infrastructure that surround that code were built for a world where one developer did one thing at a time. Our team is building the tooling that closes that gap: a portfolio of products across the surfaces developers already inhabit that work together to help developers and agents move code through the pipeline faster and with more confidence. Some of it is already in the hands of early users; some of it is newer and moving quickly.

A core part of the work is building shared infrastructure - libraries of CLI and MCP tools that are consumed across all of our products. The tech spans CLI tooling, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, APIs, desktop application development, VS Code extensions, and AI agent workflows.

What You'll Do

Own the feedback loop with developers. You'll be the team's primary interface with users: conducting interviews, writing and running surveys, synthesizing feedback from testers and early adopters, and turning it into clear, actionable signals for the team. Our users are developers integrating AI agents into serious workflows, and the products they're using touch CLI tools, MCP servers, IDE extensions, and AI chat environments. You need to be technical enough to have credible conversations with these developers - understanding how they consume APIs, what breaks in their workflows, and what "good" looks like from their perspective. We're not looking for someone who'll grow into this over time; we need someone who can sit down with a senior engineer, ask the right questions about their jobs to be done, and walk away with insights the team can act on.

Help keep engineering unblocked and aligned. This team moves fast. Your job isn't to write exhaustive specs for every ticket; it's to make sure the team always has enough clarity on why we're building something and enough organized work to stay in flow. You'll help maintain that headroom: synthesizing priorities, capturing decisions, and ensuring the vision is legible to the people executing it.

Prototype and validate ideas quickly. We want someone who's already using AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code to build rough working prototypes - not polished mockups, but functional enough to test an idea, explore an API integration, or simulate a workflow. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be comfortable enough to spin up a quick proof of concept when the fastest way to answer a question is to build something and put it in front of people.

Stay connected across the product org. This team moves fast, but it doesn't work in isolation. You'll be a regular presence in conversations with other PMs and designers across GitKraken - working through shared problems, stress-testing ideas, and helping shape how the company thinks about AI-native developer workflows. It's a small, collaborative product org where your perspective will be heard and your work will connect to the broader picture.

What You'll Bring

You might have a PM background, or you might be an engineer who has been gravitating toward product work. We care more about how you think and what you're building toward than what your title has been. What matters is that you're comfortable sitting at the intersection of user needs, technical constraints, and product decisions - and that you're ready to own things: drive a discovery effort, shape how a feature gets framed, or take a half-formed idea and turn it into something the team can act on.

You're genuinely using AI tools, not just aware of them. You have real opinions about Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar tools because you've spent meaningful time with them, not as experiments, but as part of how you actually work. Working in developer tools means being a step ahead of most on this; we'd expect someone in this space to already be there. You understand that the PM role is changing alongside everything else in software, and you're excited about that rather than threatened by it.

You're comfortable going deep technically. This team builds shared libraries, CLI tools, and MCP servers that are consumed across multiple products - so you need to be someone who can read API documentation, understand how a developer integrates a tool into their workflow, and reason about protocol-level concepts like MCP without hand-holding. You can hold a conversation about system architecture, understand why an API surface matters, and ask the kind of questions that help the team make better design decisions. You don't need to write production code, but you should be close enough to the technical work that engineers trust your judgment.

You do your best work close to users and are genuinely curious about how developers actually work and what would make their day easier.

You write well and communicate clearly. In a team of senior engineers, the ability to distill a complex discussion into a clear summary or decision is as valuable as any process or framework.
