Overview

GitHub is changing the way the world builds and secures software, and we want you to help build GitHub!

Millions of developers and companies use GitHub to build, ship, and maintain their software. With over 65 million users, hundreds of thousands of registered apps, and billions of API calls every day, GitHub provides the core infrastructure that binds the open source community together.

We're looking for an experienced Product Manager to be a strategic and technical leader on our core productivity team. In this role, you'll work across key efforts like GitHub's scaling strategy, performance efforts, and API surface as it evolves to support the next generation of development where AI agents are first-class consumers alongside developers. You'll work across teams to ensure the core of GitHub is robust, scalable, and designed for both traditional integrations and agentic workflows. Partnering closely with engineering, developer relations, and external stakeholders, you'll shape the roadmap that enables agents to interact with GitHub at scale while maintaining the reliability and flexibility our ecosystem depends on. As a product manager, you will be expected to bring a strong passion for helping developers collaborate. You should already be familiar with the way software is developed and some of the tools developers use, and be excited to build deep expertise in an industry that is changing the world.

You'll define feature sets, partner with Design to connect multiple design factors, and own and drive the roadmap for your areas of responsibility.

GitHub's engineering and product management organizations are highly distributed, and we embrace an environment of asynchronous communication. We expect you to have strong communication skills and be able to build working relationships with coworkers in locations around the globe. We value collaboration, empathy, quality, positive impact, and shipping. You will excel when the way you work reflects these values.

We want you to enable every team member to do the best work of their lives and we'll partner to enable the same for you. In this position, you will work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers. You will also be part of a community dedicated to making a positive impact at work and at large.
