The RoleWe're hiring a Product Manager to own the roadmap for the Developer Experience, CI, and CD teams within Addepar's internal Developer Platform organization. This is a foundational product role: you'll define and drive the roadmap for the tools every engineer at Addepar uses to build, test, and ship code including the developer portal, golden paths and service scaffolding, shared application frameworks and micro-frontend infrastructure, CI pipelines, build and test infrastructure, artifact management, and the deployment path from commit to production.
You'll work closely with the rest of the Developer Platform group to translate developer pain points and platform strategy into a prioritized, outcome-driven roadmap. This role reports into the Product Manager leadership for the entire developer platform and partners day-to-day with the Developer Platform engineering leads and team leads.
Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate's starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target base salary for roles in Colorado, California, and New York.
The current range for this role is $142,000 - $223,000 (base salary) + bonus + equity + benefits.
Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. Additionally, these ranges reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without requiring current or future visa sponsorship (for example, employment-based visas such as H-1B, F-1/OPT, or similar), and must be authorized to begin work in the U.S. on their first day of employment.
What You'll Do- Own and evolve the product roadmap for Developer Experience, CI, and CD teams, spanning the developer portal (Backstage), service scaffolding and golden paths, shared application frameworks and micro-frontend platforms, CI pipeline templates and build automation, test infrastructure, artifact/registry management, and deployment tooling
- Partner with engineering leads across Developer Platform teams to turn platform strategy into a scoped, sequenced roadmap with clear ownership
- Define and track adoption and outcome metrics for developer tooling, e.g., deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, mean time to restore, and developer satisfaction and use them to prioritize investment
- Drive the self-service agenda: reduce dependency on manual platform tickets by making golden paths, scaffolding, and deployment the default way engineers ship
- Gather and synthesize feedback from engineering teams across the org (via SDLC insight tooling, developer surveys, and direct engagement) to identify friction points and translate them into roadmap priorities
- Represent the Developer Experience, CI, and CD teams' roadmaps to platform leadership, product stakeholders, and cross-functional partners; communicate tradeoffs, sequencing, and progress clearly
- Monitor industry trends in developer platforms, CI/CD tooling, and internal developer portals (Backstage, GitHub Actions, Argo, progressive delivery patterns) to inform build-vs-buy and roadmap decisions
Who You AreRequired Qualifications- Prior product management experience, ideally owning developer-facing or platform products (internal tooling, CI/CD, developer portals, or infrastructure platforms)
- Demonstrated ability to define and ship a product roadmap in a technical, engineering-facing domain including comfortable translating ambiguous developer pain points into scoped, prioritized work
- Working technical fluency with CI/CD concepts and tooling (pipelines, build/test automation, artifact management, deployment strategies) sufficient to have credible conversations with engineers and make informed prioritization calls
- Experience helping engineering teams prioritize features and capabilities for shared application frameworks - such as service chassis libraries, micro-frontend scaffolding, or shared middleware - balancing individual team needs against platform-wide consistency and adoption
- Track record managing product development for infrastructure or platform capabilities with multiple engineering stakeholders and competing priorities
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills - able to align engineering leads, platform leadership, and consuming product teams around a shared roadmap
- Comfort operating with metrics-driven prioritization (e.g., DORA metrics: deployment frequency, change failure rate, lead time, MTTR)
Preferred Qualifications- Hands-on experience with developer portal platforms (Backstage or similar), CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo Workflows/Tekton), or GitOps deployment tooling (ArgoCD)
- Familiarity with framework governance models: managing contribution models, deprecation cycles, breaking-change policies, and adoption incentives for platform-owned libraries
- Familiarity with financial services or other regulated-industry engineering environments
- Experience driving platform adoption and self-service models across a large, distributed engineering organization
- Scrum-based agile development experience
- Experience partnering with globally distributed engineering teams across time zones
