Senior Product Manager, Developer Platform

About Us:webAI is pioneering the future of artificial intelligence by establishing the first distributed AI infrastructure dedicated to personalized AI. We recognize the evolving demands of a data-driven society for scalability and flexibility, and we firmly believe that the future of AI lies in distributed processing at the edge, bringing computation closer to the source of data generation. Our mission is to build a future where a company's valuable data and intellectual property remain entirely private, enabling the deployment of large-scale AI models directly on standard consumer hardware without compromising the information embedded within those models. We are developing an end-to-end platform that is secure, scalable, and fully under the control of our users, empowering enterprises with AI that understands their unique business. We are a team driven by truth, ownership, tenacity, and humility, and we seek individuals who resonate with these core values and are passionate about shaping the next generation of AI.About the Role:webAI is building the first end-to-end private AI platform. Enterprises and governments use it to bring AI to their own data - powering specialized intelligence trained on their knowledge that compounds in value with every use. Customers build those solutions themselves, on our developer platform: the SDKs and APIs they write against, the path from first setup to production, the templates that give them a head start, and the services and community that carry them the rest of the way. We are looking for a high-agency PM to own this.As Senior Product Manager, Developer Platform, you own the surface every application is built on. Your users are internal today - the teams shipping our first applications and standing up our earliest customer deployments - and external soon: the platform is designed for customers to build on it directly, and set themselves up without hand-holding, which makes the shape of the Developer Platform fundamental to our product.You'll take this on with the work already in motion - significant architectural improvements underway, and early customers already using the platform. The decisions made here set the foundation everything else is built on. You'll own that work end to end and set the roadmap that follows.Responsibilities:Own the developer platform end to end - the SDKs, APIs, developer experience, self-serve onboarding, solution templates, and community support - from the problem each solves to what ships.Translate the needs and pain points of internal and external developers into a coherent platform that unlocks the use cases and markets it's built for. This means engaging those developers and customers directly, not working from secondhand requirements.Drive the high-stakes initiatives currently in flight to their committed timelines, and own the roadmap for what follows.Own the path from first touch to production - the self-serve setup, documentation, and solution templates that get a developer from nothing to a working build without hand-holding. Internal first, external as the platform opens to self-serve.Make the calls on SDK and API design alongside engineering - surface shape, versioning, ergonomics - with a clear view of what external developers will eventually build against.Ingest requirements from adjacent teams, and arbitrate them into the platform roadmap where they compete.Shape how the developer community and support scale as the external audience grows.Establish and evolve the product patterns the platform is designed and extended against, and bring engineering, applications, and leadership along with them.Qualifications:6+ years in product management, with a track record of owning technical products end to end, from problem framing through ship.Enough technical depth to hold your own in an architecture discussion - you can reason credibly about API design, versioning, system boundaries, and the tradeoffs behind them, and earn the trust of the engineers building them.Proven ability to engage developers and customers directly, internal or external, surface their real pains, and turn that into product direction. This is core to the role.A track record of driving high-stakes, cross-functional initiatives to committed timelines with minimal oversight.Comfort owning a broad surface across several partnering teams, arbitrating competing requirements without losing momentum.Communication sharp enough to carry product rationale to any audience, from engineers to executives.Preferred Skills:Prior experience building a developer platform, developer tools, SDKs, or APIs - you've felt the pain points firsthand and know what makes a platform something other engineers want to build on.An engineering background, or hands-on technical experience that lets you go deep with the team rather than around it.Experience taking a product from internal-only to external self-serve.Experience with self-serve or product-led motions, developer community, or DevRel - you know how adoption compounds when the community starts to support and resolve questions.Familiarity with distributed systems, edge computing, or decentralized architectures.Experience treating developer documentation as a product surface in its own right.We at webAI are committed to living out the core values we have put in place as the foundation on which we operate as a team. We seek individuals who exemplify the following:Truth - Emphasizing transparency and honesty in every interaction and decision.Ownership - Taking full responsibility for one’s actions and decisions, demonstrating commitment to the success of our clients.
