Product Manager Technical (PMT) - SDK - Redmond, WA

Technical Product Manager II Enterprise SDK Integration

The Technical Product Manager II Enterprise SDK Integration owns the product vision, roadmap, and delivery strategy for enterprise SDKs, APIs, developer tools, and integration capabilities that enable customers and partners to programmatically manage complex connectivity and enterprise activation workflows.

This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, SDK architecture, API-first platform design, enterprise integration, customer activation, and cross-functional technical delivery. The TPM defines the developer experience strategy, prioritizes the API surface area, partners closely with engineering and architecture teams, and drives alignment across product, engineering, commerce, security, customer success, and executive stakeholders.

The ideal candidate has experience managing technical products in SDK, API, developer platform, networking, telecommunications, cloud, or enterprise SaaS environments, with the ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, influence distributed teams, and translate complex technical capabilities into scalable customer-facing solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy, Vision & Roadmap

• Define and execute the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for SDKs, APIs, developer tools, and enterprise integration solutions.
• Own the SDK product vision, roadmap, and API surface area definition, including decisions regarding which enterprise workflows should be exposed programmatically.
• Prioritize SDK and API capabilities based on customer pain points, business objectives, technical feasibility, customer feedback, market demand, and platform readiness.
• Define the developer experience strategy to improve customer self-service, reduce implementation friction, and accelerate enterprise activation.
• Develop success metrics and track product performance across adoption, activation, utilization, retention, onboarding success, and usage growth.

SDK Development & Developer Experience

• Own the lifecycle of SDK products across multiple programming languages, platforms, enterprise personas, and deployment models.
• Partner with engineering teams to define SDK architecture, versioning strategies, release management processes, backward compatibility standards, and API-first product experiences.
• Improve developer productivity through developer tooling, documentation, sample applications, reference implementations, integration guides, and technical playbooks.
• Advocate for API-first product design and developer experience best practices, including clear documentation, consistent API behavior, scalable integration patterns, and enterprise-grade reliability.
• Define and deliver SDK capabilities supporting programmatic network management, enterprise activation workflows, lifecycle management, bulk operations, multi-region deployments, and multi-site enterprise implementations.

Enterprise Integration & Platform Enablement

• Define integration frameworks supporting enterprise customers, partners, internal platform teams, and third-party connectivity models.
• Lead initiatives involving REST APIs, GraphQL services, event-driven architectures, authentication and identity management, cloud-native integrations, and third-party platform connectivity.
• Collaborate with Architecture, Engineering, Security, Compliance, and Solution Architecture teams to create scalable and secure enterprise integration patterns.
• Drive delivery of API documentation, developer portals, integration guides, infrastructure-as-code implementations, and bulk API capabilities.
• Partner with commerce, catalog, entitlement, billing, and fulfillment teams to ensure SDK and API functionality accurately represents product offerings, service contracts, purchase workflows, provisioning requirements, billing processes, and orchestration workflows.

Customer Activation & Adoption

• Develop activation strategies that reduce implementation effort and accelerate customer time-to-value.
• Define onboarding experiences, technical implementation guides, adoption frameworks, customer enablement materials, and operational playbooks.
• Monitor activation metrics and identify friction points in customer implementation journeys.
• Partner with Customer Success, Professional Services, Solution Architecture, and Engineering teams to improve product adoption, deployment quality, and customer outcomes.
• Incorporate customer and partner feedback to improve SDK usability, documentation quality, integration reliability, and enterprise deployment success.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Dependency Management

• Serve as the primary liaison across product management, engineering, architecture, sales, customer success, marketing, security, compliance, commerce, and operations.
• Drive organizational alignment on roadmap priorities and product strategy.
• Lead technical requirement gathering, feature prioritization, user story development, release planning, and executive reporting.
• Coordinate dependencies across multiple engineering and platform teams.
• Manage delivery commitments by tracking milestones, identifying risks, escalating blockers, and driving issue resolution.
• Own executive communications for SDK readiness, launch readiness reviews, roadmap discussions, and business reviews.
• Create written artifacts including product requirement documents, business cases, technical design summaries, six-page narratives, release plans, and executive status reports.

Product Analytics & Continuous Improvement

• Establish and monitor KPIs across SDK adoption, API utilization, customer activation, enterprise onboarding success, integration completion times, and product usage growth.
• Use data-driven insights to optimize developer experience, SDK adoption, customer activation, and enterprise implementation outcomes.
• Track performance across reliability, availability, usability, self-service completion, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
• Analyze patterns in failed activations, integration delays, support escalations, documentation gaps, and product usage behavior.
• Translate insights into roadmap recommendations and product improvements.

Security, Compliance & Enterprise Readiness

• Partner with Security, Compliance, Architecture, and Engineering teams to ensure products meet enterprise readiness requirements.
• Ensure SDK and API solutions support secure authentication, authorization controls, identity management, role-based access control, auditability, and account-level isolation.
• Support enterprise compliance requirements through robust operational controls and secure integration standards.
• Ensure platform decisions address scalability, availability, security, access control, risk management, and customer data protection.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of Product Management experience in a technical environment.
• Experience managing SDK products, APIs, developer platforms, integration platforms, and enterprise software products.
• Strong understanding of modern software architecture, cloud technologies, API design, and enterprise integration patterns.
• Experience collaborating with engineering teams using Agile and Scrum methodologies.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience driving product roadmap alignment, requirements definition, release planning, and cross-functional execution.
• Strong written communication skills with experience creating product narratives, requirements documents, technical summaries, and executive-ready communications.
